Similar foods in different hemispheres
A brazilian friend arriving back here after a short vacation in Brazil brought some sweets called cocada with her. Upon her explanation that it consists of grated coconut with sugar, I suspected already that it sounds like something Indonesians might have.
But upon tasting it, i could confirm it with 100% certainty that: it's geplak :D
It's just that geplak usually comes with less uniform shape, and also super colourful :P
It's funny how far apart Indonesia and Brazil are, yet, with the same ingredients growing in our area, we are bound to have similar foods.
I remember too now that I didn't like geplak. It's too sweet for my taste.
But, now, tasting this cocada, I wish I could taste geplak instead...
Home sweet home.
