Love To Bake Tebaloi, Sago Cookies - Sarawak Mff #2



Lydia loved this, she said it sense of savour similar milk cookies. LOL.

Tebaloi is a traditional snack of the Melanau tribe of Sarawak. I outset had a sense of savour of this dorsum inwards 2001 when I went to Sarawak for xi day, on a fun trip amongst my uni mates. I barbarous inwards love amongst it at outset bite. It was absolutely delicious together with addictive. We bought these to a greater extent than frequently than non at souvenir shops together with they don’t come upwards inexpensive for that few pieces of cookie. Now it’s fifty-fifty to a greater extent than expensive, 50% to a greater extent than of what I used to pay, if I didn’t think wrongly. It used to live on RM2 per box, exactly straight off it’s RM10 for 3.



After making this myself, I came to realize… how much the middle homo made of out of this. The high cost of each box to a greater extent than frequently than non goes to the cost of the printed box together with the souvenir store possessor together with the middleman, of course. Furthermore, kokosnoot may non cost equally much if they were to origin it nearby inwards their village.

My full cost for making
RM1.00 for kokosnoot (1/2 a fruit)
RM 0.90 for Sago flour
RM 0.22 for sugar
RM0.30 for egg


This box of tebaloi I had hither was a gift from Sharon from her concluding trip dorsum to Kuching. She gave me three boxes during CNY bloggers gathering. Thank you lot Sharon :)
It tasted dissimilar from what I purpose to have, less coconutty, therefore, less fragrant. I shared 1 pack amongst beau bloggers together with they weren’t really impressed amongst it, similar I said, this box of tebaloi wasn’t equally good. Different brands, dissimilar quality. You won’t know non until you lot purchase together with opened upwards the pack.
But my honey blogging friends, produce non allow that 1 box of tebaloi halt you lot from trying more. The existent matter is genuinely much better.


When it was fresh out from the oven, I chomped on 1 correct afterward it cooled together with crisped up. It was absolutely delicious together with fragrant, similar a thick Kuih Kapit amongst to a greater extent than texture to chew.
If you lot similar Kuih Kapit, egg rolls or love letters, which e'er you lot may telephone phone it, give this Sarawakian snack a try, you lot mightiness autumn inwards love amongst it equally much equally I do. If you lot can’t honor banana leaves, you lot tin purpose non stick baking paper.
