kuih tiram, also known by many other names like kuih kapal terbang, lidah buaya, selayang, kueh layang and gertas lapis is a traditional, sweet and crunchy snack that is popular among locals in northern malaysia.
it’s made using wheat flour, corn starch, egg, oil, water. the dough is rolled, cut and deep fried to perfection. finally, it’s lightly dusted with icing sugar. every bite is a crunchy party in your mouth, with a silky smooth dusting of icing sugar that not too sweet – the taste is just right.
a little background about the maker of these lovely kuih tiram. mak teh resides in kepala batas, kedah and she makes these kuih tiram with her daughter, saliza from their humble workshop near their home.
tiram literally means oyster in the malay language, which is embodied in its outer look. they sure do look like oysters, don’t you think? we often pair it with a cuppa hot plain or milk coffee or tea.
