Zulaikha Bika Ambon

When it comes to iconic souvenirs from Medan, Bika Ambon Zulaikha always tops the list. Despite its name, the cake does not originate from Ambon Island; rather, it was named after Ambon Street in Medan where it first gained fame. Zulaikha gained widespread popularity by becoming a pioneer in securing strict halal certification for this traditional cake while preserving its authentic heritage flavor.

This golden-yellow cake features a uniquely soft, honeycomb-like fibrous texture. Meticulously baked using premium ingredients such as sago flour, rich coconut milk, sugar, eggs, and fermented palm sap water, Zulaikha’s Bika Ambon delivers a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and perfectly chewy sensations. Alongside the traditional original flavor, they also offer modern favorites like pandan, cheese, durian, and chocolate.
