MYR1.20 per piece at Nyonya Colors
I did not expect it to be blue at the bottom. Most probably the blue colour comes from blue pea flowers (bunga telang).
Very soft and sticky with coconut flakes as fillings. I prefer Kochi Santan but this is very nice too, sweet but not overly sweet unless you eat more than 1 at one sitting.
I think I've tried that. The kuihs there are not bad.
ReplyDeleteThe kuihs here are small and dainty and taste good.
DeleteAny kuih with santan, I like.. Especially the seri muka, kuih tayap, kuih lapis.. Ooohhh and bingka ubi..
ReplyDeleteThis one has less santan than the kochi santan.
DeleteI love these! I know they're not so healthy, but they do taste delicious. :-)
ReplyDeleteAs healthy as normal ice creams, cakes and cookies. :)
DeleteDo you have any idea why is the bottom part is in blue color??
ReplyDeleteTo look attractive. The blue colour comes from bunga telang most probably.
DeleteI have been to their outlet in MV/Gardens once and yeah, I do like their nyonya kuih, very nice and very rich.. but this place is always packed that discouraged me to go, haha!! :D
ReplyDeleteBut the queue moves very fast and people also leave very fast after eating.
DeleteMe too. Blue colouring on bottom. I love this nyonya kuih although I am not a kuih person.
ReplyDeleteThe blue comes from bunga telang I think.
Deletewah now very mahal liao....last time less than rm1
ReplyDeleteVery long time ago that is.
DeleteApparently, the blue colour is something that distinguishes nyonya kuih. Same like the nyonya chang (dumpling) also white and blue glutinous rice. My mom said different colour has different meaning, sometimes there would be green or yellow colour kuih, but I don't remember what colour is what meaning..
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. Is your mother a nyonya descendant like Merryn?
DeleteIs it very sweet?
ReplyDeleteI ate half only so did not find it overly sweet. I guess if you eat more than one, then maybe the sweetness will get to you.
DeleteI tend to avoid the types I need to use fingers to open, like this one. Lazy hehe.
ReplyDeleteStill much easier to open than crabs. :)
DeleteWhat a coincidence...I just visited Nyonya Colors too! Yeah, their kuih is quite nice.
ReplyDeleteWhich outlet did you go to?
DeleteWait for the post later....kekeke...much later...coz need to try more before I put it in my blog!
DeleteGo there a few more times before you post? Ok I will wait patiently to read your post then. :)
DeleteKuih koci is one of my favourite. This reminds me of a Malay pantun - "Ada satu kuih koci, buat dia tiga segi. Luar tepung dalam inti. Dimakan orang tak ada gigi."
ReplyDeleteSudah makan kuih koci
Deletesatu dua mau lagi
komen blog berpantun berpuisi
saya baca cuit hati
It is my favourite kuih, but I only eat it when my mum or aunties buy it for prayers :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought only fat koh or those red flat kuihs are used for prayers.
DeleteI've seen this before in Malay kueh stalls too, guess they used the recipe from the Nyonyas. I like the stuff inside - very sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteYou like yea char!
