Kuih Mengkuang Diva

I love to eat this kuih though I don't know what's the exact name of it and my mom had taught me how to do it. My mom is a Chinese and I found out that I love Chinese's food more than Malay's food. This kuih is really nice but you have to be patient to make it but the taste really make all effort worth it! I made it yesterday for our tea time although I injured my knee after being knocked by my 4th daughter, Delisha. Enjoy!

1. Mix all the together to form a pancake-like-batter.
2. Cook it just like you're making pancakes. Make sure it's thin.

The filling

For the filling / inti:

To assemble:
