Discover Traditional Asian/Malay Desserts - Impress Your Family and Friends
One of my favourite hobbies is baking western and making Asian desserts and that is why I get frequent requests to make sweet or savoury goodies for a gathering or a function.
When I was learning about baking and making desserts, I dedicated a day in the week, when I was not working, to learn and to try different recipes. At the end of the year, I would have done 52 different new recipes, and usually at weekends I would drop in on some friends or relatives with these goodies.
It made me really happy to see their gratified faces when they tasted the goodies. The ones that usually get the top votes, are the Asian traditional Malay desserts which are probably still less known amongst foodies in US, Europe or Australia.
If you are a foodie and you can go weak with chocolates and cheesecake, you will want to know about these desserts which we call Malay kuihs. They originate from the deep villages of Indonesia and Malaysia and have now emerged in big cities and served at hotels and restaurants.
While many people enjoy eating them, very few know how to make them and what ingredients go into these delicious and delicate desserts. If you think that chocolate cakes, cheesecakes, moist puddings and fudgy brownies are the ultimate sinful foods, you have been deprived!
Malay kuihs use basic ingredients from flour made from yam or tapioca or beans, and a good measure of palm sugar and coconut - either as grated coconut or milk. These days coconut milk is substituted with cream or fresh milk for dietary reason. The kicker is in combining different flours and create layers of different tastes and colours.
In those days, the old womenfolks were resourceful in creating desserts for the family as afternoon snack and these kuihs also made use of fruit[1] [2] 下一页
