Kau Can Kuih (14 February 2013)


Kau Can Kuih are layered Nyonya pudding or jelly. The name means "nine-layer kuih", in reference to the number of layers this pudding is traditionally made. It is also known in Malay as Kuih Lapis, which simply translates as layered cake.

The various layers of Kau Can Kuih are given a different colour. Usually there would be a set of three colours which are repeated, usually being orange-red, pink and white. The pieces are cut in either rhombus or diamond shape (the geometrically accurate, you can call this shape rhombohedron and parallelepiped), often with jagged edges.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
