It is used to impart creamy taste when cooking the glutinous rice and making the custard layer. This kue is found in Indonesia (especially in South Kalimantan),[2] Malaysia and Singapore.

In 2009, the Malaysian Department of National Heritage declared seri muka as one of 100 Malaysian heritage foods and drinks. [3] [4]
