[CLOSED] Hong Shan Ang Ku Kueh

😎
.
Back at Toa Payoh Lor 5 for some yummy Ang Ku Kuehs! Going at just $1 per piece, these traditional handmade kuehs are indeed attractive! 😍😍😍
.
Previously had the classic peanut Ang Ku Kueh so this time round, we got the Salted Bean, Durian & Green tea flavours! 😉
.
As expected, their innovative Ang Ku Kuehs were just as gratifying as the classics! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Really liked the mochi-like skin that was not overly sticky to the teeth (maybe cuz they were a tad oily 🤣) Totally didnt mind the uneven thickness (evidence that these are handmade 👏) cuz the fillings were good & generous too! 💕
.
Green tea flavour was quite rich but equally sweet, which masked the astringent taste of tea. 💚 Durian was quite mild (not the real pulp kind, as expected from the price point 😂). Having the salted bean AKK was a good change in taste profile after the sweet ones! 👍🏻
.
Still a delightful eat! 😋

Perhaps it’s really inherited from our heritage that explains my family’s love for Teochew-style kuehs like these! ❤❤❤ Nested at a corner of Nghee Huat Eating House coffeeshop at Toa Payoh Lor 5 is Hong Shan Ang Ku Kueh, a 30-year-old name selling a variety of traditional kuehs freshly made at the stall. The irresistible aroma & pretty colours of the kuehs just lures you in! 😍😍😍
.
Had the Png Kueh ($1.40) as well as the classic peanut Ang Ku Kueh ($1). Donning a pretty pink coat 💕, the rice flour skin of the Png Kueh was sufficiently soft & did not have the rubbery texture. The filling was definitely the star of this kueh - a fragrant mix of savoury glutinous rice fried with dried shrimps, dried mushrooms, peanuts etc. 😋😋😋 With a little sweet sauce & chilli drizzled to enhance the overall taste, this made quite a good eat! 👍🏻 Except that I think this filling had some Chinese celery which I personally dislike. 🤣
.
Their Ang Ku Kueh was really enjoyable! ✔✔✔ Albeit slightly thick in some areas (uneven distribution cuz they are all handmade), the beautiful crimson-red skin was so soft & mochi-like that it didn’t mind it at all. 👌🏻 The generous peanut filling added a good crunch & was extremely fragrant! 🤤🤤🤤 Totally my kind of snack! ❤
.
Besides the traditional filling like peanuts & sweet/salted bean paste, they also have innovative fruity flavours like green tea, mango & even durian! Although Ji Xiang & Poh Cheu still ranks top on my list, this is definitely one of the better & noteworthy AKKs I’ve had! 👍🏻
.
What a delightful find in the heartlands! 😋

Soon Kueh.

Located beside my childhood bak chor mee, served one of the dedicated Kueh stall. Few years back, the owners wanted to outsource the stuffing to save labour cost but the quality wasn't up to standard and tasted "machinery". .
|
So the uncle had to stand infront of a big wok slowly fried the stuffing for hours while the aunties prepared the skin. .
|
Notice the red ring around the dark soy sauce. The owner added chilli oil into their sauce to spice up the flavors. Every single step was calculated to achieve this outstanding Kueh. .
