FENESIA – Wajik, a traditional Javanese dish, is often served at weddings and big events, and is also a popular snack during Eid al-Fitr. Made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and palm sugar, this dish has been around since the Majapahit era.
Wajik is a popular traditional Indonesian food in various regions. However, its storage period is only 15 days.
In each region, the cooking method varies because the glutinous rice grains used may not fully expand.
