Chinese/Malaysian Food Review
Seri Muka
Seri Muka is another fine dish from the land of Malaysia; it is
what I’d call a light dessert, kind of like an appetizer but for dessert.
The dessert consists of two main parts: the bottom half is steamed
glutinous and the top is green custard made with Pandan essence (this is what
gives it the green). Coconut milk is also a key ingredient when making this
dish.
As far as cooking this dish goes, the rice base is steamed with
coconut milk until it solidifies a little. The custard is than made by blending
the custard powder, water, sugar, eggs, pandan essence, coconut milk and flour.
The custard is heated and than poured over the rice in the steamer and left to
complete cook.
The texture of the dessert is super
soft and kind of smooth to eat, the flavours are mildly sweet but definitely
noticeable. The pandan essence is the main flavour but the creamy flavour of
the milky rice pudding balances out well with it.
Overall a must try dish, with a
striking appearance and flavours very unique and enjoyable. I’d expect to find
similar dishes in Malaysian restaurants and market stands.
