Kek Lapis Sarawak

The Sarawak layer cake, known as kek lapis Sarawak is a layered cake from the state of Sarawak in Malaysia.

Our local contact in Kuching suggested that we take a trip to the kek lapis shop to have a look at their kek lapis making process, and maybe to buy some freshly baked kek lapis to take home.

Since we had some time to kill after the not so successful visit to the Semonggon Nature Reserve, we took her up on her suggestion.

It is believed that this type of spiced layer cake was introduced to Sarawak in the 1970s and 1980s from Jakarta. The Sarawak people then added new ingredients, flavour and colour that resulted in a new version of the layer cake being introduced and named as Sarawak layer cake. - Wikipedia

Here are a couple of pictures from the visit.

Samples laid out for customers to taste.
These are the different flavours of kek lapis the shop is selling. They are all very nice.
