Traditional Food : Kuih Bahulu

' Kuih Bahulu is a small fluffy cake with a slightly crusty layer'

As a child ,I always loved eating 'Kuih Bahulu'. They come in all sort of shapes like fishes, flowers and most commonly sea shells. It is a traditional delicacy from the old times. Kuih Bahulu has become the main menu in the community meal at festivals or at a grand ceremony such as Hari Raya and weddings. 

Traditionally, they were baked in a cooper mould over charcoal fire which took a long time to cook. Now they are baked in an oven, saving a lot of time and effort. Modern aluminum moulds now come in various patterns and size, including floral and animal motives ,which the kids will love.
