Pumpkin Layer Kuih (Kuih Lapis Labu)

I enjoy eating various kinds of steamed Nonya kueh but not my kids, they only like Ondeh Ondeh!  This kind of steamed kueh not able to keep well as they usually contain coconut milk. So who is gonna help me finish a whole tray of steamed kueh? Hahaha have to force hubby to help me finish it then! ^o^ 

After steaming and waiting for it to cool completely before slicing.

The texture of this pumpkin layer kuih is soft and custardy, similar to kuih seri muka, just without the glutinous rice layer :)
