Kuih Lapis
Kueh Lapis,also known as kao Teng Kuih(9 Layers Kuih)
This is supposed to be pink and white in layers but my choice are only green and yellow.
Steam it layer by layer and for fun,eat it layer by layer.I've made this kuih many times before.Cut it only when it turns cold.
Normally,it has to be 9 layers,hence the name-kao teng kueh(9 layers in hokkien),but due to different size tray,you may get lesser layers or more than 9 layers.It doesn't matter.
