Kueh wajik, a local delicacy mainly found in Asian countries like Singapore and Malaysia.
Its basically glutinous rice and gula melaka(palm sugar)..This is one of my husband's favourite. To be honest, i never liked eating this local delicacy at all.
But like all enthusiastic wifes, the want to be able to make your husband's favourite and to be able to be outdo his mom. I don't know if i have outdone his mom or anything, cause the husband happily gobbles down this kueh each time he is given them. Though different recipes, different tastes, he has the same old comment "Nice". Men being men. The husband won't be coming home tonight, so i shall await his review tomorrow. Hopefully he likes it more than the previous time.
