The real talk

Kuih ketayap, also called kuih gulung or dadar, is a thin green pandan crepe rolled around a sweet filling of grated coconut and gula melaka. The crepe itself is light, so the inti (filling) is the calorie story. One roll is around 150 calories, mostly the coconut and palm sugar inside.

It is a lovely treat and one roll is reasonable. Richer versions with butter in the crepe or extra coconut can climb toward 200 plus, so a homemade generous one is heavier than a stall one. Either way, one is a treat, not a snack.
