Sweets / kueh

Buah melaka

I would assume that many people from Lipat Kajang, at least the older generations, had gone through the phase of eating sweets made by the folks (especially women, mothers, grandmothers or men?) in Lipat Kajang. What do you remember?.

In this write up I will not delve with the ingredients and how these sweets are made, I am just going to name them (in Malay as spoke by Lipat Kajang folks. I find it difficult to name them in English, and I do not find any similar sweets in English). Hopefully with all the names I am going to mention, someone may add more and on the ingredients and how these are made, maybe by their mothers or sisters or grandmothers of even wives or even the menfolks themselves. Or they may add more of the names in addition to what I have already mentioned below. I am only listing the names from memory.

In Lipat Kajang many of these sweets are called ‘kueh’ and some may name them by the older term of ‘penganan’.

Nasi manis, Dodol, Peganan Talam, Buah melaka, Putri mandi, Dodol kukus, Buah ulu, Tapai, Apam, Hasidah. Lepat pisang, Lepat ubi. Kueh bungkus. Anymore?

Hope other Lipat Kajang-ites will add to the list.
