Kuih Gedung Cak - MFF Kedah Perlis #7



The ingredients to this kuih and kuih lepat liat is actually quite similar. You can make both kuihs if you’ve bought too much of either ingredients. But which is nicer? Haha, Kuih Lepat Liat is steamed, Gedung Cak is baked. My hubby and I says, this one, the baked one.

It’s also very easy to do, just mix, wrap and bake. LOL, you can imagine baked dodol with a crust... delish!



The original Gedung Cak calls for the use of Nipah leaves, but I don’t think I can buy that anywhere. So, I used banana leaves instead. For this I would like to apologise to the Kedahans for changing this important factor.

For those of you who have no idea what is nipah, it’s the type of palm that you get attap chee from .The seeds of nipah palm is attap chee and fronds are used to make attap roofs
