One of the more popular cakes at Keong Saik Bakery, and for a really good reason too; the Gula Jawa Sticky Rice Cake would fit well for those who love the combination of coconut and Gula Melaka-esque flavours. Gula Jawa is another variant of Gula Melaka and Gula Aren — it is noted that Gula Jawa carries a lighter shade of brown than the former two and isn't necessarily made of palm sugar. That being said, the cake consists of elements such as Gula Jawa Glutinous Rice, Gula Jawa Genoise and Coconut Mousse — the cake boasts of light and refreshing coconut notes amidst all that Gula Melaka-esque sweetness from the Gula Jawa elements. What made this cake really interesting is the Gula Jawa Glutinous Rice especially — provides a sticky, chewy texture that doesn't stick to the teeth; very unique for a cake overall.
