Bakpia -homemade, first trial-

Bakpia, Pia is famous snack/cookies from Jogjakarta, Central Java,Indonesia.
It's small kind of pastry with mung bean paste filling. Nowadays plenty kind of fillings are made. Durian flavor, cheese, those all I know so far. Speaking about filling, I didn't really follow the recipe. I made use of mung bean porridge / Bubur kacang hijau that's been in the fridge for 3days. I made too much so I made the mung bean into pure. Over nite fridge and then used it for the filling. Not bad tho. I can taste the ginger in it hahha.

I know making this snack takes time. But I wanna test my skill of pastry here. ^^
I made it okay but not as pretty as the original ones but the taste is not that bad. I love the texture I made, soft.
