Kuih Lapis Red Dots

The tagline of this blog includes experience and experiment...why? so that I don't feel bad if I failed to do or achieve something for the first time :). I have never attempted traditional kuih just because I love them so much so I wouldn't even dare to try and mess with them. Apart from puteri ayu, kaswi, kuih talam, talam suji and so many more, I love kuih lapis since my childhood days. Those days, whenever there is a kenduri kahwin in my kampung, you can find easily find them there. In our canteen school, it was like a must to sell kuih lapis. I like to eat it layer by layer...indulging it to the last layer on top which normally in dark pink. So, I challenged myself to make kuih lapis...thanks to a friend of mine HAH who was willing to get me the much awaited periuk kukus cap boyo from Kelantan, today is like Hari Ini Dale Sejarah...

I was trying to get the yellow and green that were used my Kak Siti Delima from her blog. But I didn't get the right color so I just go with the flow...hehe..which includes the red dots.

Here is the recipe for the kuih lapis which I took from Kak Siti. But of course the color didn't as attractive as hers. Thanks for the recipe ye Kak.
