In Indonesia we call it Putu, which is exactly what your dish is, made from rice flour and shaped like noodles in a similar mold. It must be enjoyed with coconut milk, but we usually add pieces of jackfruit or banana to the coconut milk.
A sweet treat that we usually prepare for dessert at home!. It's great that we have such similar dishes in this part of the country lain❤️
Nice to know about putu. The same puttu we have here and is called as steamed cake but not in noddles form, its just the rice flour put in a lengthy puttu maker and kept in steamer.
Very true we have so mamy foods in common irrespective of their name.
