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. :)

ReplyDeleteyup i do that too, peeling it layer by layer. how else to eat it? ;)
ReplyDeletenothing like a nostalgic snack to tiltillate your memory and taste buds with :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my main blog.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteIt is rather hard to make the cake 'peel-able'
ReplyDeleteSometimes, 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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 !
ReplyDeleteI used to eat like you too. Quite enjoyed peeling off the layers.
ReplyDeleteNever 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about these layers... what would the flavours be?
ReplyDeleteLove eating it layer by layer too. Quite tedious and time consuming making these lovely nyonyas kuih. Can buy delicious ones here in Penang.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to taste this kuih again!i love nyonya kuihs especially kuih lapis and seri muka.
ReplyDeleteI've spent half my childhood irresistibly peeling off the layers of this kuihs before popping them into my mouth.
ReplyDeletei don't make them too as it's a very time consuming process.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your tea break dear! :)
ReplyDeleteI love to peel the layers one by one and then eat :)
ReplyDeleteArgh! 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeletehi 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!
ReplyDeletehow 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!
ReplyDeleteHappy ww!
Eastcoastlife,

I LOVE THEM! Haven't had them for a while.....the green/sticky rice one is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy!! and the pictures are beautiful!! what's inside the layers ECL?
ReplyDeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy! Are they sweet like jello?
ReplyDeleteone of my fav childhood bites. Now, it's just bad calories. ahha.
ReplyDeleteThey look too pretty to eat. But they remind me of some coconut treats I saw recently. I wish I had bought them!
ReplyDeleteNonya 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!
ReplyDeleteMoms... check nyo
Yummy-as-can-be
Where's the tea? I'd love to have some of these, please. :p
ReplyDeleteThese cakes look tasty. I would buy them also--I'm too lazy also :)
ReplyDeletei like 九层糕 too and would eat them layer by layer. however, hope they will make less sweet ones.
ReplyDeleteAre these sweet or tart? Wouldn't mind trying one.
ReplyDeletepeace,

That's the way I eat my kueh lapis too! actually these are the authentic malay kuehs, the nonya kind of adopt them .
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty and look delicious. I'd love to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteThose are cool. They remind me of barfi, Indian sweets.
ReplyDeleteOoh..yummy kuehs. What's the yellow one? Tapioca cakes? I like them.
ReplyDeleteJust like you, I love to eat those colorful nonya kueh, layer by layer so as to maximize my enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteYour eating habits remind me of my daughters both sweet and infuriating at the same time!
ReplyDeleteBy 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!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so colorfully yummy! And fun to eat!
ReplyDeletethese are very colorful. I never heard of these before.
ReplyDeleteI guess many will eat it that way. hehe. I like to do that as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWah, kuih lapis, long time didn't eat already. Very hard to find good ones!
