052. Pulut Serunding: Steamed glutinous rice kueh, it combines glutinous rice & "serunding" (spiced grated coconut floss) - with or without meat. Also called Ketan Serundeng. Depending on the type of serunding used, this kueh can taste sweet, spicy, savoury or all of those above.
Small throwback to last week when I made a custom mug birthday gift for a friend! I guess it can also commemorate our many years of friendship haha~

050. Salat/Seri Muka: Two-layered kue that is usually a pandan-flavoured green custard topped over steamed cake of sticky glutinous rice. It's common for Peranakans to call it kueh Putri Salat, while it is known as kuih Seri Muka (meaning "pretty face") within Malay communities.
048. Pulut Tai Tai: A classic nonya kueh that is made of butterfly pea flower-marbled glutinous rice steamed in coconut milk and generously slathered with coconut egg jam called kaya. It is also known as kuih Pulut Tekan which loosely means "pressed glutinous rice cake" in Malay.
046. Larp: This Hainan wrapped rice would include garlic/five spice powder into their rice along with popular stuffing such as pork, marinated Chinese sausages, shiitake mushrooms & dried shrimps. It's customary practice to unweave the leaves strip by strip; strictly no cutting!
045. Jongkong: Kueh Jongkong (ingot cake) is a steamed custard-like rice cake drenched in thickened coconut milk. It is traditionally stored in banana leaves that are wrapped in a distinctive fashion that resembles a purse, earning it the moniker "wallet cake".
The character portraits, to be used in my upcoming kueh book. Bonus: After 40 kueh illustrations, there are now more than enough character comic art to fill up their own personalised collage.😂
035. Pumpkin kueh: Savoury, steamed rice flour-based kuih that uses pumpkin. It is also called 金瓜糕 (Mandarin: Jin Gua Gao / Hokkien: Kim Kuah Kueh) or kuih Labu (Malay), which all directly translate to as "pumpkin cake". Typically served with chilli sauce and/or sweet sauce.
