I found some awesome Malay kuih recipes from a blogger and thought that I should really try some of them out. I started off with the easiest of all, the steamed white sugar cake. The taste is there, but the texture is slightly different from what I remember! And I nearly burn down the kitchen. ><! Now I think it’s rather reasonable for the hawkers to charge us the price as they are because it’s really hard to produce a good Malay kuih! How am I ever suppose to help out, with this standard? Sigh.

Anyway, I’ll post some pictures up if I really manage to do something that’s edible AND also presentable! Wish me luck!
