Nyonya Kuih Kochi Putih 白裹糍娘惹糕

It’s been a long while since I make any kuih-muih. Life has been pretty hectic and it is a coincidence that I bought an extra grated young coconut the other day, which is actually for my nasi kerabu. However, I skipped the coconut dish and ended up in my nyonya kuih instead. haha….. I am actually craving for Baba Charlie kuih-muih especially the white kochi. It’s my all time favourite. Baba Charlie is one of the famous nyonya kuih making shop in Melaka, located at Jalan Tengkera.  Please read on for more.
