Bahulu

Kue bahulu, also known as baulu or bolu, is a cherished traditional pastry from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Imagine a cross between a madeleine and a sponge cake, but with its own unique rounded shape and distinct ingredients. This delightful treat often appears during festive occasions like Eid al-Fitr and Chinese New Year.

In Indonesia, kue bahulu holds a special place in the hearts of those in Kalimantan, especially in the cities of Pontianak, Sambas, and Singkawang in West Kalimantan. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or as part of a celebratory spread, kue bahulu is a sweet reminder of home and tradition.
