Png Kueh

Png Kueh

The last time I made this was a couple of years back and the other day when I was talking to mum about it. She said she was going to make it for church sale so I thought I’d make some as well. Not that difficult to make. Just soak the glutinous rice overnight and then it would make steaming the next day so much quicker.
