Steamed Nine Layer Cake aka Kueh Lapis 九层糕

The old school snack that I love, commonly known as 九层糕 Nine Layer Kuih with 9 layers all different colours. When making it at home, I usually make 2 colours only... easier, no need to wash so many bowls. :D 

The combination of coconut milk and pandan leaves is so fragrant, the texture is soft and springy, we enjoyed eating the kuih layer by layer...
