Jagung Kuih (cake), or Sweet Corn Pudding is a popular snack in Malaysia. It is usually consumed as a kuih, i.e., as a tea time snack or a whatever time snack. However some hotels and restaurants are selling it as a dessert, together with other Malay or Nyonya kuihs. Of course this sweet corn pudding is easy to dress up as far as presentation is concerned.
