Wa Ku Kueh

I am so proud that I am able to make these wonderful gems. Surprisingly they were made with rice and Jiu Bing (Wine Biscuit) mixed togethere and then prove for about 48 hours. The ingredients are simple... rice, jiu bing, rice flour, sugar and pandan leaves. The biggest challenge is of course, the waiting time (altogether I waited for 51 hours and 15 mins to get the "Blooming" effect from the cake.

I just love the taste and colour of the wa ku kueh... I remember I used to have them with my sister and I often dipped them with lots of orange sugar and my sister would love to dip them in white shredded coconut and orange sugar.

Here is the picture of the Wa Ku Kueh I have made:
