How to you eat Serunding kelapa | Coconut Floss?
In here, I cooked my serunding kelapa, a little bit on the moist side.My intention was to make this serunding kelapa as a filling to my sweet potato dumplings, known as cucur badak or Pulut Udang.
But if I were to serve with steamed glutinous rice, I would cook this serunding kelapa a little bit longer to make it drier a little.

How do I keep Serunding Kelapa?
Place this serunding kelapa in an air tight container and refrigerate.Since this serunding kelapa recipe is moist, best eaten within 3 days or max 7 days.
