Phenomenal by any standard of kueh benka ubi kayu (KBUK) I’ve had and I can’t believe it wasn’t made by someone else. Perhaps it’s because it’s my first time trying KBUK as fresh out of the oven as it can get without scalding my mouth? I love its mouthfeel. Further fragranced with oven-scorched banana leaf, this moreish confection is unusually (yet very pleasantly) light, moist and melt-in-your-mouth (just stopping short of being custardy). And to top it off, that deliciously crispy, caramelized crust…Again, can’t believe something so delectable could also be so doable.
