Yam

Nasi Lemak/Malaysian Coconut Milk RiceOne of the best things about eating in Malaysia is the different kuih available–literally means “cake” but comes in different shapes, forms, textures and could be sweet or savory. Sold by street vendors, hawkers, peddlers and also available in specialty kuih shops, kuih is very popular as a light snack and can be eaten anytime of the day. I underlined “anytime of the day” because it does seem like we Malaysians eat all the time. With so many good foods available, anytime is a good time to eat!

Anyway, I wanted to introduce you to Or Kuih or Yam Cake today. In Malaysia, Taro is referred to as Yam. Or Kuih is basically steamed savory yam with flour. Topped with dried shrimps, chopped scallions and fried shallot crisps, it’s best served with chili sauce…

Taro/Yam Paste (Or Nee) Puff

Be it “can” (pronounced the American way), or “can’t” (pronounced the British/French way), I am heading to Cannes in south of France tomorrow. I know, I am really a lucky one.

Other than Cannes, I will also check out Nice, St. Tropez, and Monaco (Monte Carlo). I am getting myself a nice little rental car to explore around. Nice, very nice!

I will probably be MIA–but hey, do check back on Rasa Malaysia as I might well surprise you with a post or two from the French Riviera.

For now, I wanted to share this very exceptional dessert with you, Or Nee (Taro/Yam Paste) Puffs which are practically to die for. Don’t believe me, ask Robyn and Dave at Eating Asia for their objective opinions…
