As Hari Raya Aidilfitri approaches, anticipation builds for the delicious array of festive treats , especially the colorful kuih raya jars adorning tables. While modern and trendy kuih emerge each year, several traditional favorites hold their place, evoking nostalgia and cherished memories of childhood. These kuih, often prepared with the help of mothers and grandmothers, represent a connection to the past and a sense of enduring tradition.
Here is a list of ten evergreen kuih raya that are almost guaranteed to grace homes during Syawal.\Kuih Batang Buruk, a seemingly unassuming kuih, earns its name from its resemblance to a weathered log covered in green bean powder. Its sweet and savory taste makes it a beloved treat. The texture is often slightly crunchy from the exterior, while the inside is soft and creamy. You can easily find these delicious kuih in many traditional kuih shops across Malaysia all year round. The Kuih Semperit is a classic raya biscuit that is hard to replace. Its crispy exterior gives way to a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it a favorite for all ages. It is usually decorated with rainbow rice or a red cherry to complete its appearance. Interestingly, this kuih also comes in various shapes such as semperit dahlia, long classic semperit, square semperit and many more. Biskut Suji, also known as Arab biscuits, is a simple treat made with basic ingredients like flour, fine sugar, and ghee. Despite its simplicity, it offers a delicious taste with a soft texture that melts easily in the mouth. These biscuits often disappear quickly when served to guests.\Biskut Sampan has been popular since the 1970s. As the name suggests, this biscuit is shaped like a small boat. The middle is usually filled with various fillings such as dried coconut, almonds, nestum or decorated with red and green cherries. Its unique shape makes this biscuit one of the most recognizable raya kuih. Kuih Ros is also known by several other names such as kuih loyang, kuih goyang and kuih sarang lebah. It is named kuih ros because of its shape which resembles a beautiful rose flower. To make this kuih, the batter is fried using a special mold to get the shape. Kuih ros is known for its crispy texture and sweet and savory taste. Interestingly, this kuih is also often made by other communities during festivals such as Deepavali and Chinese New Year. Biskut Mazola is known for its strong nutty flavor and slightly crunchy but soft texture. It is made from ground peanuts mixed with other ingredients to produce a balanced fatty, salty and sweet taste. Although it looks simple, this biscuit is always a favorite and is rarely left for long in the jar. This kuih is perhaps one of the most nostalgic for many people. As a child, many have helped their mothers or grandmothers roll pineapple tarts in the kitchen for Hari Raya. The combination of soft biscuits with sweet pineapple jam makes this kuih melt in the mouth. Now, pineapple tarts also come in various modern versions including shapes like real pineapples that look cuter. Kuih Bangkit is one of the most famous traditional raya kuih in Malaysia and has never been outdated. This kuih is known for its very soft texture so that it almost 'melts' in the mouth when eaten. Its main ingredient is tapioca flour that is toasted with coconut milk, giving it a delicious flavor. Interestingly, kuih bangkit is often printed using traditional molds with various beautiful shapes such as flowers, leaves and other classic patterns. Apart from its delicious taste, its unique shape also makes this kuih a beautiful decoration in the raya kuih jar. Biskut Makmur is often associated with the symbol of luxury in traditional raya kuih dishes. This kuih is usually made using a mixture of butter, flour and finely ground peanuts as the filling. After baking, biskut makmur will be coated with icing sugar which gives a soft sweetness with every bite. Its soft texture and rich nutty flavor make this biscuit often one of the fastest kuih to run out of when guests come to celebrate. Kuih Siput is known for its unique shape resembling small snail shells, hence the origin of its name. This traditional kuih is usually made from a dough that is printed using a special mold before being fried until crispy. Interestingly, kuih siput also has a slightly spicy taste and is not too sweet like most other raya kuih. That's why it's often a favorite for those who prefer more savory snacks
