The most important cakes or "kuih" in Malaysia is akok, especially in Kelantan. It is pancake like. People can eat this cake at anytime of day because it is can faund at "pasar malam" even by the roadsides. Akok made from duck eggs, brown sugar, pandanus leaves and coconut milk. They mix this ingredients in a bowl. Then, they are baked in a special " bahulu" like copper case heated over light fire. It is look simple and perhaps simple ingredients too, but only the most skillfull pastry maker could bring out the real flavour and smooth melting in the mouth texture. If you come to Kelantan don't forget to taste or eat Kelantanese traditional cakes such as akok.
