Kueh sarlat - a popular dessert in Singapore. Bottom layer is steamed glutinous rice, top layer is pandan coconut custard. All natural colouring and flavours. B

Isn't this from Malaysis? On what occasion do you eat this?Is the custard part sticky like rainbow colored kuehs?

Hi
Malaysia and Singapore historical were part of the same country until 1965 when Singapore become a independent country therefore we share many food, culture, customs etc.
This kueh is very popular among the Peranakans as a snack or as a dessert. In the old days, it's served at furnerals because of the blue and green colours. But nowadays we eat it anytime we want.
The custard part is actually kaya (coconut jam) but steamed till it harden. It taste sweet and creamy. It's made with coconut milk, eggs, sugar and flavoured with pandan

Arigatou for your detailed information. Intriguing!!
Especially, blue and green colors symbolize funerals. I try to remember not to choose these colors as a gift.
Are kuehs popular even among the younger generation? Kuehs are like our 和菓子, I guess?

I bought some kuehs at Bungawan Solo and one of those kuehs, which was looked most delicious, my type and I thought it it must be sweet, was savory 😂😂😂. I saved it for last!! Lol.
