Kuih Seri Muka, also known as Kuih Salat means beautiful face in Malay. It is one of my favourite nonya kuihs as it has 2 very different taste and texture which together makes a truly mouth watering dessert.
The Seri Muka is made up of 2 layers. The bottom layer is made with steamed glutinous rice and the top layer is made from a green silken yummy custard.

The green colour is obtained from the juice of pandan leaves. Pandan is a plant that grows in tropical parts of Asia. The leaves are long and bright green, and when pounded or ground, lend a sweet taste, colour and aroma to many desserts and some dishes. Unfortunately here in New Zealand, we can only get frozen pandan leaves but hey, beggars can't be chooses and it still serves it's job.
I recently made the Seri Muka for my mother in law after hearing it is also one of her favourite, check out the results.
