I was searching around for Kueh Lapis recipe and got this one from PY! Easy to follow recipe, but takes a LOT of time! You have to literally grill the cake layer by layer, and each layer takes 3 - 5 min. So you'll need to be standing by the oven, watching it, making sure that it doesn't get burnt. I now know why it such an expensive cake! But well, this is a cake that cannot be missed out during CNY and it's worth the effort!
