Located in Jalan Besar, Peranakan Khek is a symbol of chef-owner Sharon Low's dedication to preserving the kueh-making craft, so pop by to show your support for tradition and get a box of kueh to go. The menu at this small bake shop is compact but well-curated, and we appreciate how every item is made with the utmost care and pride. The favourite of the Burpple community is without doubt the Kueh Salat ($2), which sees a springy glutinous rice base layered with rich, pandan coconut custard. Worth a try too are the Kueh Putugal ($2), a lesser seen tapioca kueh with a sweet banana filling, as well as the fragrant Kaffir Lime Butter Cake ($2.50).
Avg price: $5 per person
