The kueh is made of cooked glutinous rice which is flavored with coconut cream, stuffed with some savoury prawn sambal, rolled up with banana leaves and send to grilled or barbecued. They is also pulut panggang kosong mean no stuffing just plain. My youngest like to have the pulut panggang kosong with kaya (egg custard jam). This special tea time treat  is very filling as it is made of glutinos rice. I can easily have 2-3 in one sitting :p  Nowadays is sell at Rm1.50 to Rm2 a piece compare to before is it only 50 sen a piece. Imagine how much the price have gone up but if you don't bothered about the price it is still worth buying because making this is quite time consuming. But today i am going to make this from scratch. Although is is time consuming and quite tedious to make, it is still worth wide when you see your family is enjoying it happliy! 糯米参巴虾米卷，烤的香香香蕉叶卷起...
