Our gula melaka delicacies(cake and cookies) have been quite a hit amongst our customers.

Before I begin on explaining what ingredients goes into them that makes them so delicious, let me provide a brief explanation on what gula melaka is!
What is Gula Melaka?
Gula melaka is extracted sap from the budding flower of a date, coconut or sago palm. The sap is boiled until it thickens, leaving a sticky sugar that is whipped and dropped in lumps on cellophane, or poured into containers, traditionally bamboo tubes, where it is left to solidify.
The taste ranges between deep caramel to mellow butterscotch, it is often used as a sweetener in baking in Southeast Asia.
Gula melaka is also considered to be a particularly wholesome sugar, retaining more mineral salts than refined sugar due to the absence of bleaching. It’s said to have key vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, which include potassium, zinc, iron, and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6.
