About Kueh salat

Kueh Salat is a traditional Southeast Asian delicacy, predominantly found in Peranakan cuisine. It features two distinct layers: a vibrant pandan custard topping and a base of glutinous rice enriched with coconut milk. The rice is often steamed to perfection and tinted with natural blue hues derived from butterfly pea flowers. While the pandan custard contributes a fragrant sweetness, the glutinous rice provides a chewy texture and richness. From a nutritional perspective, Kueh Salat offers plant-based ingredients like pandan and butterfly pea flowers, which are valued for their antioxidant properties. Coconut milk adds beneficial medium-chain triglycerides but is high in saturated fat, making moderation key. The dessert typically uses sugar, which elevates its calorie content. Kueh Salat is best enjoyed as an occasional treat for its unique flavors and cultural heritage rather than a staple for a healthy diet.
