KUALA LUMPUR: Two years ago, Husaini Mat Rejab, 42, embarked on a quest to collect vintage brass moulds and to get to know more about traditional kuih bahulu recipes.After almost three years of searching, he now has over 200 moulds in 70 different shapes, and has even come up with a recipe inspired by his journey which he has put to good use at his shop-cum-bakery in Jalan Pahang called Bahulu Arang.
