What you see above is the improvised version of the kuih apam, nicely put n cups with all the cute colours mixed up. first thing that crossed my mind when i saw this pic was.."ooh malaysian cupcakes!"
Anyways, you can find these at almost all the kuih stalls, sold 5 for RM1 if i'm not mistaken. most of the time they don't come in cups and in a variety of different colours : green, pink, white. usually eaten sprinkled with coconut flakes. go try one if you haven't ok.
What i wanted to share today is in this photo:
Now these are traditional apams:) someone brought it to make up class today to share with everyone and i was amazed by it cuz i haven't seen it before. these apams are called Apam Rambai. taste the same, so i guess they use the same ingredients but they are steamed in rambai leaves and belong to the Negeri Sembilan tradition (just found out after i googled about it). p/s: Rachel is orang negeri sembilan:P
What's unique about this kuih is not just the rambai leaves, but they are usually eaten dipped in sambal tumis ikan bilis. u know, the same sambal you eat with your nasi lemak. yums.
Whoever's thinking of trying these apams can travel down to Johol, Negeri Sembilan. Good luck!:)
