Snacks & Kuih Calories

Kuih is sneaky. Each piece looks tiny and innocent, but most sit between 150 and 300 calories, and nobody in history has eaten one piece of kuih. Three pieces from the pasar and you have eaten a full meal without noticing.

This page exists so you know exactly what that box from the pasar malam costs. Everything ranked lightest to heaviest, per piece, so you can pick your favourites on purpose instead of by accident.
