What is Kuih Talam?

Kuih Talam is thought to have originated from the Malay Peninsula, where Malaysia and Indonesia share a common culinary heritage. In these countries, the term “kuih” refers to a category of bite-sized snacks or desserts. As such, Kuih Talam is just one of many delectable kuihs that have become popular in Southeast Asia. It is often enjoyed during special occasions, festivities, or as a daily treat alongside tea or coffee.

Kuih Talam is a two-layered steamed cake made from rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and natural coloring derived from pandan leaves. The dessert’s distinct green and white layers are not only visually appealing but also offer a delightful contrast in taste and texture.

How to Make Kuih Talam?

To make Kuih Talam, the two mixtures are prepared separately and then steamed in succession. The pandan layer is poured into a cake mold and steamed until it sets. Once firm, the coconut layer is poured over the pandan layer and steamed again until fully cooked. The finished dessert is allowed to cool and set before being cut into small, delectable pieces.
