Fried Onde-Onde

There's two kinds of onde-onde. One is boiled and then coated with steamed coconut, and another one is fried onde-onde. I love both. Hee. I decided to try making the fried onde-onde for today. It turned out the way I like it. My parents said it's good. Me? I think I can finish up all at one go, but my parents taught me to share. Haha. I gave some to my uncle and his wife. (";)
