b'Kue Nastar by Rahel E | United Kingdom (Indonesia)Why is it special?Kue Nastar is a famous cookie for holiday seasons such as Christmas, Eid, or Chinese New Year in Indonesia. The recipe actually originates from the Dutch period of colonisation, and it (Nastar) stands for ananas & taartjes, while Kue means cookie. When the Dutch came to Indonesia, they wanted to make these cookies but since they couldnt find the normal fruits for it (blueberry, strawberry, or apple) with the same level of ripeness as the ones in the Netherlands, they used pineapple as an alternative, since it is local to Indonesia. You can always find this cookie in almost every house that you visit during Christmas/Eid!
