KUALA LUMPUR: A swirl of embroidered kebaya, the aroma of glutinous rice and sweet bean paste, and the rhythmic pressing of wooden moulds set the scene as 138 women gathered to make history – and angku kuih – together.

The “Kakatoo – Most Participants Wearing Kebaya in an Angku Kuih-Making Workshop” yesterday was more than a record-breaking attempt recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records.
