RSSGuess What?
 They are definitely not vermicelli or rice sticks. Clues:
The good news is that I have brought back the mold to make this goodie and I can't wait to make this at home. For the readers who are not familiar with Malaysian food, please stay tuned to find out what they are. For those who are in the know, please leave your answer via comments. Thanks! Updated: My readers are geniuses and 95% got the answer right. Yes, they are putu mayam, a South-Indian delicacy. Looking for the recipe? Please stay tuned as I am going to try making them this weekend! :) Labels: Malaysian Food, Random |

Putu Mayam - Very hard to find it nowadays in Singapore
.
Nate asked, "What's that?" to which I answered, "Putulah!" Darn girl, I really, really love putu mayam and haven't had it in forever...argh!!!
.
They're spring hoppers! I've had these at Indian/Sri Lankan restaurants...at least I think it's this..
Ce'nedra

used to go to Dad's friends house during Deepavali to have it. Yummies!

.

Indonesian used to called it "Petulo".
reading to all comments above, gladly knowing that malaysian called it "Putu Mayam".
I hope my self not making the wrong judgement alike
.
I think its string hoppers or putu mayam.
.
Putu Mayong!!!
I took this with brown sugar and coconut from pasar malam when i was a kid at my hometown. Thanks for this post which reminds me I haven't eaten this since 7 years ago. Where can I get this in KL?
.
haha. looks like lotsa people already guessed it. i wanna have some putu mayam too!
.
If it is what I think it is, just like the rest...I love eating it with gula melaka!!!
.
String hoppers?
.
putu mayam in Singapore are sold like prepacked in clear plastic by Indian stalls.
I saw one Indian stall in Commonwealth/Tanglin Halt 10 storey market selling em.
.
Putu Mayam!! I haven't had them for years. :(
I used to have this for breakfast on weekends when I was young.
.
Putu Mayam indeed!!! :D
Yumm yummm yummmm
With Gula Melaka, it's extra YUMMM!!!
.
this is putu mayung...missing the gula melaka and coconut flakes
.
a.k.a eedee apom. I learned to eat it with mutton curry when I met my husband - his family's hari raya breakfast tradition. Utterly wicked!
.
It's been sooo long since I ate Putumayam!!:) Reminds me of my Deepavali visiting days...ooh!
.
This is the first time I hear of this dish...looking forward to seeing the recipe and the finished product! :)
.
I tried this before. It must goes with Malacca Sugar. Very nice!!
.
I'm interested in seeing your final dish because I'm not familiar with it at all. This is exciting!
They kinda look like a loose version of vietnamese banh hoi, which are normally prepared in thin sheet and wrapped with meat and herbs.
.
Got to love that idiyappam! So, you got a mold now, that should be fun to work with!
.
It's Putu Mayam eaten with grated coconut and gula melaka.....hmmm...sedap!
