Back home when I wanted to eat a couple of pieces of the kueh I just needed to microwave them for about 20 secs. covered after taking them out from the fridge.
Ahhhh .... the lemongrass flavour is indeed refreshing and fragrant. It gave a different experience eating the Kueh Ambon which usually has a very strong oily coconut flavour and taste to it. I definitely liked it and here shown were the last two pieces before they disappeared into my stomach LOL. Not sure where you can buy this in Singapore though. Anyone knows?

u add lemongrass how to queeze the juice ?
this is indeed a very cool concoction...haven't seen it before, sure an eye-opener. now i would know what to get from medan if i travel then...but then again, isit easy to get or need to go to specialty shop, cecily?
Hi jessie chua
I think cannot squeeze juice from lemongrass. What I guess is that they must have infused the fragrance of the battered lemongrass into the oil part of the recipe.
See the Ambon recipe here ....
