From Melaka with Love - Coconut Shake (ice blended smoothie)
What is Serimuka in Malaysia?
Serimuka is a popular kueh (cake) variety that is simply irresistible. Smooth, rich, creamy. Mmm... one is never enough.
This kueh is easily recognisable. It consists of two separate layers. The bottom one is made with glutinous rice cooked in creamy coconut milk, while the top layer is a green coconut milk custard that is flavoured and coloured with fragrant Pandanus available in our store in Pandan Powder or Pandan Liquid extract. It rather reminds one of a pretty little mahjong tile!
The dessert is often associated with the Peranakan Chinese and has been listed as one of Malaysia's heritage foods. Serimuka is traditionally served on special occasions, and similar varieties are also found in Indonesia, where they are known as putri salat.
You can watch or read about the Peranakan culture from our blog "Down Memory Lane with The Little Nyonya". Here's a recipe for the Kueh Lovers and our Aussie fans who have tried them during the Cake Bake & Sweets Show in both Sydney and Melbourne. This is a lovely homemade recipe just for you!
