Nyonya Food: Kuih Delights

Here are some of the Nyonya's sweets and savory we sampled while in Malaysia. Nyonya cuisine is derived from Peranakan or rather Baba-Nyonya (峇峇娘惹). They are the descendants of Malay and Chinese inter marriage. As the result of a unique Strait Chinese (Baba-Nyonya) culture and cuisine blooming in Malaysia especially the Melaka and Penang states. The key ingredients for Nyonya kuih are coconut, pandan and Gula Melaka (a sort of palm sugar from Melaka area with a distinct taste)
