KUCHING: The mooncakes at Maria Kek Lapis bakery come with a uniquely Sarawakian twist as the filling consists of colourful layers of kek lapis, Sarawak’s famous layer cake.

Proprietor Maria Ngui has been selling these special mooncakes since 2018 after first trying them out with family and friends.
