Nyonya KuihSteamed Fresh in Small Batches
koo-eh · the steamed cakes & sweets of Malaysia
Pandan squeezed fresh, coconut freshly grated, layers steamed one at a time — real kuih is slow, handmade work. 这就是好糕点在悉尼难找的原因。
The kuih of a Nyonya kitchen
Glutinous rice, coconut milk, pandan and gula Melaka — a rainbow of textures from four humble things.
娘惹厨房的手作糕点
Kuih (also spelled kueh) are the bite-sized steamed cakes and sweets of Malaysia. Real Nyonya kuih is slow work — which is why good kuih is so hard to find in Sydney.
Mama steams a different selection each week, and the mixed boxes have become the favourite way to try a bit of everything — and the way the Malaysian community caters morning teas that taste like home.
