Kuih Potong/Red Bean Cake

I was browsing for some “kudap2” (aka snacks) when I came across this red bean cake, or more popularly known as “kuih potong“. Again, this is one of my childhood food. I’ve eaten tonnes of this cake during my primary school days in Ipoh. And I still can’t get enough of that thing.

And the memory remains...

The cake was made from wheat flour, sugar, red beans, vegetable oil (palm oil), baking powder and caramel.

At a time, it was difficult to find these cakes in KL, and I had to source it out back in my mom’s hometown in Kuala Kangsar. Now it was widely available in mini marts, gas stations and even Mydin. Most of the manufacturers have included the “Halal” logo on their packaging.

The one I bought is made by a company called Desa Southern Agency in Batu Pahat, under the brand of “Miaow” and retails for RM1.60 a packet (about 10 pieces in it). What intrigued me is the title of the packaging, which is “Taste of Memories”.

The weird thing is, how the hell they cut the cakes into pieces so precisely? Are they using a titanium coated knife? It’s so smooth!

Anyway, do you wanna have some?
