Kueh Bolu

These Kueh Bolus are less than perfect due to the lack of colour on the top but they taste awesome! I baked these for my mum as they are her favourite and I'm glad that she loved this surprise I sprang on her along with a new book on fruit juices that I got her to keep her occupied in her stall! (: 

On a side note, these Kueh Bolus are NOT PERFECT.. I'm still gonna improve it with tips some ladies have shared with me.. However, since it's been requested, here it is first.. For me, I believe that appearance for this snack doesn't really matter that much cos my mum still loved it anyway. Nevertheless, I will update this recipe and improve it when I get to doing it. (:

This recipe takes about 30 minutes and yields a dozen mini cakes. This recipe was taken from Egg Me On by Evon Kow.

Puteri Ayu (Steamed mini pandan coconut cakes)

I happen to chance upon these moulds when I was in the supermarket yesterday and I recalled the Puteri Ayu recipe I saw on Nasi Lemak Lover! I decided to buy it cos it was merely a dozen for close to 2 bucks (: I modified a lil' of the recipe and enjoyed this warm snack! This took me about an hour to cook and prepare (including blending).

Kueh Lapis Legit

Kueh Lapis Legit.. one of my absolute favourites that has been on my to-bake list for eons! It's a tough cake to bake though as it's really time consuming and you need all 3 hours of it! Once you've started baking, you're basically camping in front of the oven watching this darling delicate kueh/cake work wonders! 

This recipe is from Richard Goh and I'm an absolute fan of his. It's just a pity that school's starting soon and I won't be able to attend his classes any time soon. In any case, this recipe takes 3 full hours (sometimes more) to bake and it yields a 25cm by 25cm Kueh Lapis Legit! (:

20 egg yolks

200g castor sugar

10 egg whites

Caramel Kaya Glutinous Rice Cake (Kueh Salat)

Kueh Salat is one of those classic Nonya Kuehs that is really popular in Singapore and even in Malaysia. This is one of my mum's favourites and I decided to cook/bake/steam one for her. Am really glad that it turned out real well and this was just so well-received. (: Most importantly, she liked it! (:

The recipe was taken from a recipe book but I haven't gotten the title of whatsoever.

To begin with, this is what a tradtional Kueh Salat looks like, or rather, what most people know it to be. However, I love how the glutinuous rice could be so pretty in blue, just like the way it made my nonya rice dumplings so pretty that I decided to do a mixture of blue and white glutinuous rice for this recipe.

The blue pea flower, also known as the clitoria flower due to it's resemblance to the female anatomy is one of the best ways to get natural blue food colouring. Am thankful that Ricky gave me a dried pack of it that he has planted previously so I made good use of it (: This can be purchased in the dried form from some medical halls. Alternatively, some baking shops do carry it as well.

If you cannot get your hands on it, you can omit it and use all white glutinuous rice for this Kueh Salt. (: This took me about 3 hours to steam/cook. However, do not that you would have to soak the glutinuous rice for at least 8 hours prior to cooking it.
