🥳 How to Host a Kuih Party: A Sweet, Colourful Malaysian Experience

Looking for a unique way to gather friends, bond over culture, or host a creative class? Say hello to the Kuih Party — an event that brings people together through the joy of making (and eating!) Malaysia’s beloved traditional sweets.

Whether you’re a host, a content creator, or just someone who loves kuih, here’s how to plan an unforgettable session.

🍡 What’s a Kuih Party?

A kuih party is a hands-on gathering where guests make and enjoy a variety of local desserts like onde-onde, kuih lapis, seri muka, and more. It’s part workshop, part feast — and full of colour, fun, and sweet smells.

🧑‍🍳 What You’ll Need:

1. A Simple Menu (2–3 Kuih Types)
Pick beginner-friendly kuih like:

• Onde-Onde (great for rolling)

• Kuih Ketayap (easy crepe folding)

• Kuih Lapis (fun for layering)

2. A Prepped Cooking Station
Set up:

• Mixing bowls

• Measuring cups/spoons

• Steamers or portable cookers

• Banana leaves, pandan, glutinous flour, coconut milk — all ready to go!

3. Ingredient Cards or Recipe Boards
Keep instructions easy to follow. Print them or display on mini chalkboards or screens.

📸 Don’t Forget the Aesthetic!

• Use batik or kain pelikat table covers

• Serve teh tarik or sirap bandung in classic mugs

• Have a photo corner with traditional props and signage like “Mak-mak Mode On”

🎁 Make It Takeaway-Friendly:

Provide cute paper boxes, banana leaf wraps, or mini containers so guests can bring home what they make.

Add personalised stickers with each guest’s name for a special touch!

💬 Why It Works:

A kuih party isn’t just about cooking — it’s about connecting. It’s hands-on, cultural, and perfect for:

• Family bonding

• Community events

• Team-building sessions

• Food content creation
