Kuehs and Snacks (Alexandra)

Looks like dark sauce but it's very sweet and there's quite a lot of complexity, I tot it's red date but it's not after all. Quite familiar, maybe it contains brown sugar

This was good and very unique

Skin was the same as soon kueh, the chives were quite well executed, it's clean tasting. Doesn't have too much body despite a few bits of hae bi.

Can try if you're already here, no need to make a trip

Apparently they don't have soon kueh? It's only mangguang Kueh, so it's not bamboo shoots.

Anyway this was pretty big, skin was average but the filling was quite decent. It's the dry style that's quite strong in haebi aroma but not overly umami

Very few of their kuehs can be ordered individually, which is hugely annoying for me.

PSA the mouse dumpling is sweet, contains sesame and stuff. The hainanese dumplings are filled w coconut

This one sucked. The filling was sub average but the skin was terrible. There's a small part inside the thick skin that wasn't fully cooked.

Chance upon this Teochew snack place near to Alexandra Food Centre and they actually famous for their snacks. Decided to get some of them and they was surprisingly good and chewy. You shouldn’t miss out buying some if you are here.

I managed to buy the last box of soon kueh (only 3 left in box).

Soon kueh was very delicious. Skin was really soft, not too thick, and slightly chewy - not the translucent/ slightly transparent Hakka-type of skin that I don't like. Turnip filling (aka mang guang filling) was fantastic; fragrant and flavourful. Really love their soon kueh! It is something I will buy again.
Wish there's more filling though. But at $1.20 per handmade soon kueh, I'm not complaining.

The box of mini ang ku kueh was ok. Skin was soft with a good QQ consistency. Out of the assortment of flavours I got, I actually prefer the coconut filling one; more flavourful than the rest. Sweet mung bean was normal, but then again, sweet mung bean filling was never my favourite. I usually love anything yam-related though(anything with Orh Nee). But the yam one was like the sweet mung bean one; it was actually difficult to tell the filling apart from the skin. Maybe I should have gotten the normal-sized ones.

The kuehs are good to keep for 2 days. If you can't finish them on the day you bought them, in the evening, keep them in the fridge and you can still enjoy them the following day (the last day you should eat them).
