Kuih Seri Muka

Hello,

Kuih seri muka is one of Malaysian traditional sweet snack made of steamed glutinous rice with coconut milk and layered with sweet pandan custard. I used to see my mom and my sister made these kuih when I was a teenager but never made it by myself. This morning I felt like I want to eat these kuih seri muka and I've made it for the first time.

Since we are only two at home, as usual every time I made an extra cakes, I would give it away to our neighbours. In this recipe, I used pandan extract since I don't have pandan leaves to make a natural pandan juice and a few drops of green food colouring.
