The dessert is a pudding cooked using glutinous rice flour, rice flour, coconut, sugar, poppy seeds, butter, and milk, and has 2 primary variants: wet and dry.[1] The dessert was first sold in Bassein (now Pathein), an Irrawaddy Delta town in the 1930s, and is now considered a delicacy of Pathein.[1]
