Nyonya Kueh
Nyonya Kueh refers to a variety of traditional bite-sized snacks originating from the Peranakan culture, which blends Chinese and Malay influences. These colorful treats are often made from rice flour, glutinous rice, and coconut milk, resulting in a chewy texture and rich flavors. They are typically steamed and can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients.
