Selendang mayang features slices of mung bean flour-based cakes served with coconut milk and sweet condiments. The colorful cakes are said to be the inspiration for the name selendang mayang because traditional Betawi selendang (scarves) are known to be colorful.

Hotel Santika Premiere Slipi Jakarta is offering the coveted iced selendang mayang for the hotel's iftar menu this year, specially prepared by assistant executive chef Singgih.
