Penang Putu Mayong, also written putu mayom, is Indian-style steam rice vermicelli cake. It is served with grated coconut and sugar. In appearance, it is similar to roti jala, except that the latter is yellow in colour while putu mayong is white. It is also related to putu piring. Some vendors create a green version of the putu mayong by adding pandan to the batter. A wooden implement with tiny holes in it is used to squeeze the batter to form the tiny threads which cool and solidify. The vermicelli-like threads are then placed in a wicker tray and steamed.
Putu mayong is usually sold with grated coconut and sugar, either white or brown sugar. Some times palm sugar (gula melaka) is also provided.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
