colourful Nonya cakesWhenever I have guests coming to visit me at home, I would buy some traditional Nonya cakes to serve them. It is too tedious and time consuming to make these cakes myself.
*Excuses, I'm actually too lazy :P*
peeling it layer by layer....Guests who are seeing the colourful 9-layer cake (九层糕) for the first time are usually very fascinated with my way of eating. Like a young child, I would eat it layer by layer.... carefully peeling each layer before placing it in my mouth. hehe....

This was how I used to eat it too when I was young, layer by layer and if I am given one now, I will still eat it layer by layer. :)
OH no!!!!!! Just missed the chop!
Wahhh nice tea-time snack here today ECL, I oso like kuih nyonya. I like the corn one so yummy!
Kuih lapis oso nice, long time tak makan la! :)
Enjoy ur tea sweetie! :)
yup i do that too, peeling it layer by layer. how else to eat it? ;)
nothing like a nostalgic snack to tiltillate your memory and taste buds with :)
This is my main blog.
That is good with tea or coffee. Hahaha! Funny, Ms ECL, I do that sometimes with my food.
Whao... yummy kueh kueh.. make me drool for it.
It is rather hard to make the cake 'peel-able'
Sometimes, we ended up with cakes which had the layers stuck together
=.=
I used to like these 9-layer cakes, and like you, I would eat it layer by layer! So fun!
I never baked in my whole life so of course it's much more tasty and better when I buy them, lol ! Otherwise my guests would get burnt stuff !
I used to eat like you too. Quite enjoyed peeling off the layers.
Never made them myself, too tedious. Luckily the kueh is readily available for me to buy when I fancy eating buy. :)
I eat it layer by layer too, and now my son follows my way :)
I'm curious about these layers... what would the flavours be?
Love eating it layer by layer too. Quite tedious and time consuming making these lovely nyonyas kuih. Can buy delicious ones here in Penang.
Can't wait to taste this kuih again!i love nyonya kuihs especially kuih lapis and seri muka.
I've spent half my childhood irresistibly peeling off the layers of this kuihs before popping them into my mouth.
i don't make them too as it's a very time consuming process.
enjoy your tea break dear! :)
I love to peel the layers one by one and then eat :)
Argh! Nonya kueh! Wife and I love them to bits. There's only one restaurant over here that has them and it cost £2 for 3 tiny morsel. Pathetic? Very.

Wow, I have never seen these before. The color is incredible. Time consuming for sure.
I'd like to know what they are made from and how they are made. i love to bake and looks like something which would be fun to try. I imagine a little cornstarch sprinkled between layers would help them not to stick... but then I have no idea how they are made and if that would be appropriate. Happy WW
hi ecl! i'd love to try that cake too! we have a similar layered sticky cake called sapin sapin in Phils (meaning layered) but you can't peel it off like that...so sticky!
how does this taste? too sweet, just right...oh...now you really got me hooked. Seeing all the colors and layers being peeled to be eaten. Very nice ww post!
Happy ww!
Eastcoastlife,
I like to eat these colorful cake.
When the cake inside my month, i simply feel good.
Have the nice day.
I LOVE THEM! Haven't had them for a while.....the green/sticky rice one is my favourite!
These look so yummy!! and the pictures are beautiful!! what's inside the layers ECL?
Oh no storms moving through...lights flashing...g2g!!
Hugs:-)
I like to eat that too and like you, I never fail to peel them layer by layer.. :D
They look yummy! Are they sweet like jello?
one of my fav childhood bites. Now, it's just bad calories. ahha.
They look too pretty to eat. But they remind me of some coconut treats I saw recently. I wish I had bought them!
Nonya cakes remind me of a local rice cake called Sapin-sapin. They look similar, it's also layered with different colors and we top it with grated coconut. Yum!
Moms... check nyo
Yummy-as-can-be
Where's the tea? I'd love to have some of these, please. :p
These cakes look tasty. I would buy them also--I'm too lazy also :)
i like 九层糕 too and would eat them layer by layer. however, hope they will make less sweet ones.
Are these sweet or tart? Wouldn't mind trying one.
peace,
mike

That's the way I eat my kueh lapis too! actually these are the authentic malay kuehs, the nonya kind of adopt them .
They are so pretty and look delicious. I'd love to give them a try!
Those are cool. They remind me of barfi, Indian sweets.
Ooh..yummy kuehs. What's the yellow one? Tapioca cakes? I like them.
Just like you, I love to eat those colorful nonya kueh, layer by layer so as to maximize my enjoyment.
Your eating habits remind me of my daughters both sweet and infuriating at the same time!
By the way how do you make these colorful cakes, I know for a fact my 6 and 7 year old sons would go gaga over them!
It looks so colorfully yummy! And fun to eat!
these are very colorful. I never heard of these before.
I guess many will eat it that way. hehe. I like to do that as well. :)
I thought I was weird... I eat them layer by layer too. *hi five*!!! But here not easy to find good nyonya kuehs.. or maybe I don't know where to get them.
Wah, kuih lapis, long time didn't eat already. Very hard to find good ones!
