Signature Dishes
Nonya Kueh is a cornerstone of Peranakan culture. The colourful cakes seated atop pandan leaves are yummy and scrumptious and more often than not, characterized by a distinctive sweet and stickiness.Work-related matters saw me go by a confectionery specializing in nonya kuehs. Located innocuously along Hougang Ave 7 (I know, the store sign says Ang Mo Kio ) in a low of shop houses, the confectionery is simple - an undecorated store front stacked to the rafters with nonya kueh and the baking is done in the kitchen out back. I asked for the store's signature kuehs and was recommended their Ang Ku Kueh and what they simply called "Hei Bi Hiam". The former is a common sight among the local Chinese populace, a distinctive red kueh with either coconut or peanut filling. I bought the peanut version which although came across a tad dry on the inside, was still very much chewy and enjoyable. The "Hei Bi Hiam" turned out to be a simple looking rice cake, with generous filling of spicy prawn paste. This was my first try of this particular kueh and I really liked it for its contrast in textures - the smooth sticky rice cover, which allowed the heat from the grainy prawn paste to permeate throughout the entire kueh.At just $2 for 5 pieces of Ang Ku Kueh and anther $2 for 4 pieces of the "Hei Bi Hiam", it really makes for a cheap breakfast or tea snack. Check it out!

Tried their white glutinuous rice with hay bee hium (50cents) sometime back, i must say its very impressive. The hay bee hium is also quite unique in that its a mixture of dry shrimp and pork floss like ingredient. Bitesize also makes it easy to finish with one mouthful. It could even be better if they added some peanuts to it as well. Next time i will probably ask the owner what this item is called. By the way their ang ku kueh also smaller than normal but it does not look as oily as others.
