About Kuih Sapit
Kuih sapit are thin coconut-and-egg wafers associated with festive sharing in Brunei. SweetCumi's charcoal-mould rendition has a light, crisp texture and a folded, quarter-circle shape.
Rice flour and plain flour give the wafers their delicate body. Coconut milk adds richness, while sugar and extra egg yolks give them a gently sweet, eggy flavour.
The patterned surface and overlapping folds make each wafer distinctive. Their brittle layers break into small flakes, making them a delicate sweet snack for Chinese New Year gatherings.
