Kuih Limas aka Tepung Pelita

 A Malay traditional kuih which has never been forgotten due to its delightful delicate texture.... well balanced creamy layer and melted sugar syrup at the bottom.....

My Emak used to make this every year during Ramadhan when we were small. I would like to dedicate this entry to my beloved brother Yeop who loves this kuih so much. Many years back, during our family gathering in Taiping, he had about 20 pieces in one go and he never eaten this kuih anymore ever since....LOL.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Ternampak Tepung Pelita kat rumah kak CikManggis, terus teringat kat Kuih Limas yang Emak Along selalu buat waktu kita orang kecil2 dulu & bersemangat terus nak buat. Along pun search kat Google & baru tahu rupa2 nya Tepung Pelita & Kuih Limas adalah kuih yg sama. Terjumpa lak Kuih Limas kat rumah Mas, terus kita salin untuk buat hari ni. Lepas kerja, masak lauk simple2 jer sambil2 tu sempat lak buat kuih ni. Senang jer, semua nya masuk blender & boleh siap dalam masa yg singkat. Terima-kasih kepada kedua2 CikManggis (beri inspirasi) dan Mas yang sudi kongsi resepi.

First time testing my new toy, Trio Steamer which is very convenient because no pre-heat is necessary - the steamer get heated right away the moment it is on. The size is huge and therefore I can steam the whole batch of the kuih in one go.

  15. Akakaka, too much of a good thing isn't too good. Same this happened to my hubby when he was young, he had too much Yau Char Kway.

    I only knew of kuih limas when I moved back to KK. In KL or other places, they all call this tepung pelita.
