it's a habit that the Indonesians eat Kolak Pisang (Banana) to break their fasting during Ramadan month, therefore, Ramadan equals kolak pisang, as it equals to many other things actually. There are so many things that we do or dishes that we eat only during Ramadan, so that we actually try to avoid to eating 'em otherwise, just to have a deeper meaning and the real Ramadan ambiance. I made kolak for the first day of Ramadan. It makes me think of home; the smel of boiled coconut milk mixed with pandanus, just several minutes before the iftar time arrives.
There are several recipes of Kolak Pisang existing in the world, and i am sure this is one of the best, the most well spread south east Asian dessert. I was just lucky enough to find a can of jack fruits and palm seed fruits in my cupboard on the first day of Ramadhan. Hmmm..i must have bought it looong time ago, a yea a go maybe? Bahaha....i never learn, i always forget what i bought until i discover it months later. (and got poisoned just after eating it).
By the way, I actually hate French (surely imported from elsewhere) big banana (plantin – large ones) as they are too hard, and not sweet enough; i always have to cook them a little bit longer, hoping that they will melt in the end. Nice try Jackie, it happens very rarely, instead, i have my coconut milk broken, because it is too 'well done'.
