Ah Kong Wa Kuih (Chinatown Complex)

Trying something new today with @ahkongwakuih!

To me, it’s like a good bouncy steamed carrot cake drenched with Lor mee-ish sauce, perfected with a dollop of minced garlic and chilli each 🤤

Super uber shiok prelude for lunch!

Wa kuih @ $2.50

Our first time trying this so we got no point of comparison, but we liked it!

The texture is a bit like zui kuih (水粿) but slightly more firm. And it contains some mushroom bits and shrimp bits so the texture is not monotonous. The sauce is a bit like chee cheong fan sauce but slightly stronger. Goes very well with the kuih, and even better when mixed in with the chilli and garlic. The garlic seems to have been soaked in vinegar, so when all mixed together it also tastes a bit like lormee.

Sounds like a mixture of a lot of different things but somehow it turns out to be really tasty.

Their instagram says they're open from 7.45am till sold out. We reached at around 12.30pm on a Thursday, not sure if they would still be open, and were pleasantly surprised. But we noticed there were quite some people after that (maybe having it after lunch) and they were closing at around 1.30pm.

Would want to find other wa kuih places to try and see if they're really supposed to be like this hah.
