Kuih Kosui, Kuih Bingka and Sugee Cake Do you like Nonya kuih? If youโre a fan of Nonya kuih or Eurasian cakes just like I am, keep reading and find out more. Think Kuih Kosui, Kuih Bingka and Sugee Cake. Iโm not particularly a fan of Kuih Kosui in general but Restaurant Kinโs version blew me over. Pictured hereโs the dessert sampler ($24++).
Kuih Kosui (Individual portion $10++). Whatโs Kuih Kosui? A kuih made from tapioca starch and rice flour thatโs mixed with gula melaka (palm sugar) before steaming. Itโs then served with grated coconut for texture and flavour. A good kuih kosui will be soft, bouncy and wobbly. Kinโs version hits all these notes and melts in your mouth. I can fathom why people canโt stop asking for more.
Kuih Bengkah/ Bingka (Individual portion $10++). I like kuih bingka in general. But Kinโs version is mind blowing and has kept me yearning for more. Served warm unlike many other places, And I think thatโs partially cause itโs served warm. The top is crusty while the tapioca custard is soft, moist and fragrant.
Sugee Cake (Individual portion $12++). A Eurasian classic thatโs served during Christmas. Itโs made from semolina flour, chopped almonds, butter and egg yolks. Taste wise - rich, dense and buttery.
Kedondong & Coconut Sorbet (Individual portion $12++). With all the rich and sweet treats, this refreshing frozen treat was much needed. Creamy yet distinctively tropical with fruity nuances from the kedondong fruit. Add a bit of gula melaka for additional sweetness.
