'''[[Kuih]]''' (plural: {{Lang|ms|kuih-muih}}) are usually, but not always, bite-sized foods associated with the Malay and [[Min Chinese|Min-speaking Chinese]] communities of Malaysia. In the context of the term being cultural as opposed to being physically descriptive, the concept of {{Lang|ms|kuih}} may refer to a selection of cakes, cookies, confections, pastries and sweetmeats. Kuih may be eaten throughout the day for light breakfast, afternoon tea (a tradition adopted from the British), as a snack and increasingly as an after-meal course. | '''[[Kuih]]''' (plural: {{Lang|ms|kuih-muih}}) are usually, but not always, bite-sized foods associated with the Malay and [[Min Chinese|Min-speaking Chinese]] communities of Malaysia.
