Recipes for Kueh Ambon



Recently we have organised a trip to Batam and the tour guide had recommended us this kueh. A few of us bought a box each home. Out of curiosity, after the trip, I wanted to know the recipe for the kueh. From the internet, I established that the name for the kueh is called Kueh Ambon.

I have managed to find the following recipe from Asiarecipe to share with those who are interested.
Ingredients :
  • 15g instant yeast
  • 110ml warm water
  • 80g plain flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • pandan leaves
  • 350 coconut milk
  • 30g butter
  • 250g sugar
  • 120g tapioca flour
  • 6 eggs
  • a pinch of salt
