ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kuih

Kuih is a yummy snack or dessert that comes from a country called Malaysia. It's made by mixing different ingredients together like rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and different flavors like pandan or banana.

Then, we put this mixture into different shaped containers or molds and steam it until it's cooked! After it's done cooking, we can take it out of the molds and we have all sorts of cool shapes like squares, triangles, or little round balls. Each shape has its own special name and taste.

There are so many different types of kuih because we can add all sorts of ingredients like beans, fruit, or even cheese to make them taste even better! It's great to eat kuih as a snack or at parties with friends and family because there's always so much variety to choose from!
