Mont Lone Yay Paw Day!

I don't remember the last time I had Mont Lone Yay Paw (Burmese Glutinous Rice Balls with palm sugar) and when the Uncle at the Burmese Monastery told my sister and I how to make it, we decided to try it out at home.
It's rather easy to make, actually - 1 part rice flour + 3 parts glutinous rice flour and water to mix it into a paste. Break up palm sugar into little pieces. Then take a little bit of the mixed flour paste and put a little piece of palm sugar in the middle. Roll it into a little ball. Then plonk it in a pot of boiling water. In a few moments, the glutinous ball will be cooked and will float in the pot. Ready to be consumed! Sprinkle a little shredded coconut onto it if you like coconut (i don't) and enjoy!!
