Kueh Lapisan - 九层糕

Promised my grandma-in-law to try out this kueh lapisan long time ago and finally made it this round.

With my creativity, I've added some corn-puree to the last layer :)
With or without the corn-puree, I feel that the texture of the kueh was not as soft/light as what we usually bought in the market.

Those that bought in the market normally covered with oily-surface, however taste wise not as good as mine. Maybe I need to adjust the amount of water called in the recipe accordingly. Recipe calls for 280ml-375ml warm water, but I only added 260ml.

Ok, talking about the photo, hahahaa.. my daughter complained that how come her head was "chopped-off".. I said my focus should be on the kueh and not her but still, I let her squeezed in. She accepted the explanation happily ^.^

Kueh Rose/Kueh Goyang/蜜蜂窝

This was not my 1st attempt. I still remember doing this with my secondary schoolmate long time ago. I was the one that put the mould and she was the one helping to flip and pick up ^.^ By the time we're done, the biscuits were half gone eaten by my family :P But we enjoy the process.

I went to Carrefour just now and saw a lot of chinese new year cookies. One of it was this kueh rose. You know how much they selling for a tall plastic container? Around 8bucks! SingDollar nei!

"Seri Muka" - Pandan Glutinous Rice

My 1st Nyonya Kuih result as shown in the picture on the left. Taste nice and easy to prepare! I will definitely bake this again as it's life-span only 2 days ^.^ (finished within 2 days) hahahahaaa....

The only comment from grandma-in-law is: Next time we can try to put more glutinous rice and reduce the pandan layer, then we can make more! :D She loves the glutinous rice, she said it was "Q-Q" (means... not too soft and the chewiness is just nice!

I wanted to bring this back to office and share with my colleague who borrowed me the recipe from Agnes Chang but so sorry that it was gone so fast :P

I will bake this again and let her try next time!

Note added on 13 Nov 2009: I did bring some of the Seri Muka that I've baked to let my colleagues try and they revert nice ^.^

I did it again recently and taken a photo to share.


This time, I've increased the glutinous rice as my grandma-in-law prefer the glutinous rice to be thicker. I also like the glutinous rice to be thicker as it would be a bit too sweet if the top layer too thick ^.^
