In recent years, the rise of social media has given birth to a new trend: rainbow kueh. These colorful desserts have become a sensation, with their vibrant hues and creative designs captivating the attention of foodies and Instagram enthusiasts. The rainbow kueh phenomenon has not only elevated the traditional dessert to new heights but also inspired a new generation of bakers and food enthusiasts.
The green chapter is dedicated to Kuih Dadar (also called Kuih Ketayap ): pandan crepes rolled around a filling of grated coconut cooked with gula Melaka (palm sugar). The crepe is so green it almost glows, and the aroma — sweet grass, vanilla, jasmine, and fresh hay — rises from the pan like a genie.
