Seri muka kuih
Seri Muka Kuih is a classic Malaysian steamed cake with two distinct layers. The bottom is a firm, sticky glutinous rice base cooked with coconut milk, while the top is a smooth, vibrant pandan-flavored custard. The separate steaming steps ensure each layer sets perfectly, resulting in a beautifully structured and aromatic treat. You'll need to let it cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
