I bought purple sweet potato from Orang Asli during recent group drive to Cameron highland .My aunt call this verities as" Ubi Stelo Keduduk (Senduduk is a purple flower ) because of the colour. "http://nasilemaklover.blogspot.com/2012/04/kueh-lapis-steamed-9-layers-cake.html . I'm convince,worth every patience paying attention to the SIFU's ( Thanks Sonia, Yati and Kak1) teaching and generous tips. I've studied their recipes and trying to understand and paying attention, I really wanted to learn making kuih melayu ,the right way.seeing on a few blogs . My purple kuih lapis ,basically based on Yati's Lapis Labuhttp://yatiememories.blogspot.com/2012/02/kuih-lapis-labu_20.html and being inspired by Kak wan's lapis kledek found here http://bilachahkedapur.blogspot.com/2012/04/kuih-lapis-keledek-ungu-citarasawan.html. I just altered a bit to suite my taste since this sweet potato is naturally quite sweet.This video will help to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OVFh7dKcds
