About Kuih lapis

Kuih Lapis is a traditional Malaysian and Indonesian steamed layer cake, popular in Southeast Asian cuisine. Made primarily from rice flour, tapioca flour, coconut milk, sugar, and natural food coloring, its signature characteristic is its striking, colorful layers. Each layer is steamed individually, resulting in a soft and slightly chewy texture. While Kuih Lapis is visually appealing and gluten-free due to the absence of wheat flour, it is high in sugar and saturated fats from the coconut milk, making it less healthy for regular consumption. Its dense composition also lacks significant fiber or protein content. However, its base of simple ingredients and lack of preservatives or artificial flavorings align with traditional, natural desserts. Kuih Lapis is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a cultural experience or festive celebration, rather than as a frequent dietary choice.
