More pictures of traditional kuih, most of them sweet to the point that my teeth ache…
Clockwise: the ones in plastic wrap are buah tanjung (right), then nasi kaya with layer of glutinous rice, next to it is nasi kaya without glutinous rice, the mash potato look-alike is tahi itik (no, it’s not some shit…) and the gold-like folded strands are jala emas.
Again, clockwise: the dark pancakes are akak (right), below it are bananas soaked in sugary soup @ pisang sira, and those tofu are tauhu sumbat @ stuffed deep-fried tofu, my favourite, and they are not sweet.
Another favourite of mine, jemput jemput bawang @ deep fried flour-and-onion batter. This one is a bit sweet.
And oily, that I no longer need manicure. But still quite nice.
Apam bakar (traditional pancakes), served with nyior (grated coconut). Maybe I am wrong but it smells garlicky but tastes like cinnamon. They are other versions, made with banana or extra egg. Depends, can be sweet or just-nice-sweet.
