Akok
Kuih akok (or just akok) is a traditional sweet Malaysian snack
originating from Kelantan and Terengganu. It's usually made with a
combination of eggs, coconut milk, water, sugar, flour, and salt. A
batter consisting of eggs, coconut milk, flour, sugar, and salt is
poured into a muffin pan or similar rounded molds, and it's then
baked in the oven until the top becomes golden brown.
The akok will puff up during the baking process, and once done, it's
enjoyed as a snack or a dessert. Cooks in Kelantan use more eggs
than flour, while cooks in Terengganu have a smooth-looking akok
because they use a higher ratio of flour to eggs.

and creamy fish paste, and is usually seasoned with ginger, shallots,
