I try to bake every Ramadan. I’m by no means a baker – I don’t have a sweet tooth and I’m not fond of bread. I also don’t like coconut .
Also, the smell. Every time I make this, I feel like putting up a “Free smells” sign at my window like they do at Famous Amos.Photos of Wak Jum's coconut candy courtesy of her daughter, Nurul Jannah Rahmat. You could keep your candy dastardly pale or you could dye the bars red and green the way my babysitter did. Yes, like Christmas. For Hari Raya, instead of serving the candy as bars, she fills small cupcake cases with it. Bite-sized. Addictive.My babysitter, Wak Jum, cared for me from when I was a newborn up until I was about four. She was a fantastic cook and baker.
I was maybe four when I had that first bite of coconut candy. My mum was very strict with me when it came to my diet. I either ate vegetables or I didn’t eat. I only had sweets on special occasions. Wak Jum, bless her, has pretty much stopped making candy. When I suggested to her daughter that we try to make it together and capture it on video, she reminded me that the family typically cooks it over a"dapur arang" and it can take hours.
