After 2 misses, I finally got to try the much raved about Gula Melaka cake. It was chewy, dense, fine-crumbed and boldly flavoured with the addictive palm sugar. In fact it tasted deceivingly similar to the traditional 马拉糕, just a wee kueh-er. Topped with the stickiest gula melaka glaze, this made for a wonderful tea cake.
