Kuih Akok | Traditional Snack From Kelantan, Southeast Asia | TasteAtlas

Kuih akok

Kuih akok (or just akok) is a traditional sweet Malaysian snack originating from Kelantan and Terengganu. It's usually made with a combination of eggs, coconut milk, water, sugar, flour, and salt. A batter consisting of eggs, coconut milk, flour, sugar, and salt is poured into a muffin pan or similar rounded molds, and it's then baked in the oven until the top becomes golden brown.


The akok will puff up during the baking process, and once done, it's enjoyed as a snack or a dessert. Cooks in Kelantan use more eggs than flour, while cooks in Terengganu have a smooth-looking akok because they use a higher ratio of flour to eggs.
