Akok Terengganu: A sweet dessert

Akok is a traditional dessert made of rice flour, eggs, sugar and coconut milk. Those days, Akok is served during the feast or party. Now, you can get akok everywhere. There is no season for this dessert. Since it is sweet, it is advisable you drink sugarless tea or coffee after eating the akok.

Akok is ready to be served. Note it is divided into two for easier handling.

Akok is made with mixing those ingredients and put into the bronze container (special mould for cooking akok). Traditionally,  the mould (containing the liquid akok) is heated from the bottom and top using the firewood and coconut husk.  When it is cooked, the the fire is removed and the cooked akok become solid and were being put into the other container for cooling. Then, it can be served. 

You can buy this akok in the markets. In Kuala Terengganu, Pasar Chabang Tiga has permanent stalls that sell this akok. Happy travelling.
