KUCHING LAYER CAKES

Kuching Layer Cakes

One of the first things that people notice while walking along the Main Bazaar in Chinatown are the tables of colourful cakes sold in plastic boxes. Known locally as kek lapis, the layer cakes are edible art and come in a huge variety of flavours including coffee, sweet-and-sour, cheese, and assorted bizarre flavours you would not normally associate with a dessert.


If a whole cake – usually sold for about $3.50 – seems daunting, try buying just a piece for 50 cents in either the Sunday Market or from a bakery, the vendors selling cakes from tables will not cut them.


During the festive season in Malaysia, Layer cakes are the most wanted food or one of the cakes will be present during the day celebration. So, when visit Sarawak layer cakes can be the souvenir for related family and friends, they must love it!
