When it comes to Indonesia Kueh Lapis (or layer cakes) from Batam, most people who like it would be aware of the reputable brands like Batam Layer Cakes (BLC) or Lamoist.
Today, i am going to introduce another alternative and mind you; it's literally homemade and if you wish to self-collect, you actually have to go to the semi-detached bungalow!
Given the scale of its operations, there were limited flavours; i.e. original, prune, pandan and surabaya. I am a sucker for original kueh lapis even though from the samples, the aromatic Pandan would be a close alternative if the original were to sell out.
Never been a fan of prune layer cake despite it being relatively popular among Singaporeans.
Baking in progress! To be honest, i know how to bake kueh lapis but the work is laborious and you need a lot of time! Therefore, i know how much work goes into one cake and in correlation, the reason why it costs so much. I do have time to spare to bake layer cakes but i could never replicate the buttery flavour found in Indonesian kueh lapis!
Solid butter and melted butter in the fridge. I thought it's a bad idea to put this in full view of all walk-in customers. It's like a reminder to us on the amount of butter we are ingesting!
I actually got this contact from the chauffeur engaged for the day trip to Batam back in 2015 and thought it would be good to support (alternative brands)!
So what do i actually think about the kueh lapis from Dapur Abdi? Those who have been complaining about the oily butteriness of Indonesian layer cakes would be suitable for this. It's not as oily and even though the buttery flavour was a tad lacking; i found myself liking the texture and taste more as i took a few more bites!
