Coffee Bao & Kueh Makmur

Kueh Mahmur Baked On 30/09/2007

This is Malay Cookies called " Kueh Makmur "The filling is penut and outside coat with icing sugar". You can get it only when Hari Raya Puasa and Chinese New Year time.

I try to make kueh makmur cause Hari Raya Puasa is coming soon, so my maid also can eat too. Every year I will make some cakes and cookies for my maid so she will feel like at home too.

Actually this cookies is quite popular and expensive when you buy from outside. If you want to find a very nice kueh makmur, there is not easy to get. I have try before when you have first bite, it really can melt into your mouth.

I tried this recipe is not very good yet. I have to continue to try other recipe to get a good kueh makmur.




Coffee Bao Made On 29/09/2007

Anybody heard about coffee pao???

Just got to know this bao when my colleague bought to office to let our staffs to try it. When I have a first bite, this is very yummy...and love it very much.
After eating, I decided have to try to make it. Even though can't compare with outside sell, but the taste almost the same.

Hi Joanne,

I've eaten kueh makmur and coffee pau before. Near my office there's a Indonesian restaurant sells very nice & very expensive kueh makmur using cashew nuts, it's really very nice, just melt in the mouth.

Your coffee bau looks great & you've also said they taste great too. U mean the filling also have coffee flavour or just the bao? Recently I saw TV introducing some popular places selling these coffee bao but can't remember exactly where liao.

P.s. Joanne, can u remove the word vertifcation? very troublesome leh, sometimes have to type a few times to get it through...

山龟 Oink,

U r right, Chai Chee is the best can't compare with Geylang Serai.
