Abacus Seeds
2012-07-31 39 views
Abacus Seeds has been my favourite snack but it is not so commonly available. I can only get it from this stall or other one at Shunfu. The abacus seeds at this stall come in 2 sizes, the bigger box or the smaller box. As i am the only one in the family enjoy eating this so i cannot finish the big box so i have always ended up with the smaller one. Their abacus seeds are made from yam and flour then steamed it before stir-fried with dried shrimps and mushroom. It tasted good if eat it on its own

It tasted good if eat it on its own and it tasted even nicer if eat it with the chilli provided.

Ang Gu Kueh
2012-07-31 20 views
This stall is one of the best kept secret in Singapore. They offer different types of snacks like soon kueh, glutinous rice cake, abacus beads and also ang gu kueh. I am a fan of their ang gu kueh and go back quite often to get them. I tried their various fillings like mango, durian, yam but decided to stick with their peanuts and bean paste. Both are the most traditional flavor, the sweetness level of the filling is just right. The skin is just a thin layer with a certain chewiness. It is a go

Green Tea Ang Ku Kueh
2012-06-09 27 views
Returned to Poh Cheu for more of their exotic flavoured and colourful ang ku kuehs. This time, I managed to buy the last few remaining pieces of their Green Tea Ang Ku Kueh. Just 70 cents each, their ang ku kueh snacks here are not only delicious, they are also definitely a steal. I really enjoy the ang ku kuehs here: the skin is fantastically soft and chewy and the green tea flavouring is very nice.

There is always a long queue at Poh Cheu stall, in a coffee shop next to the Alexandra Village Hawker Centre. The stall seems popular and there are many newspaper cuttings and good food awards all over the stall.

More review at my blog http://monsoontravel.blogspot.com/2012/04/snack-poh-cheu-alexandra.html.

Poh Cheu Poh Cheu specialised in a variety of handmade kueh keuh - Soon Kueh, Ang Ku Kueh.

Ang Ku Kueh @$0.70
Besides the traditional Peanut and Red bean paste fillings, they also offer a variety of other fillings - Black Sesame (new), Durian, Green Bean, Salted Bean, Yam, Coconut, Coffee, Mango and Green Tea. Loved the vibrant colours and enjoyed choosing the different flavours. Maybe that's the reason why it took every customer so long to place their orders.

 Soon Kueh @ $0.70~$1.00
The other speciality is their Soon Kueh with different fillings - Turnip Soon Kueh, Ku Cai Kueh, Bamboo Kueh, Yam Kueh and Rice cake (Peng Kueh). Not the best Soon Kueh I had, but still very satisfying, especially with the black sauce and chilli.

 Abacus ­@$2
They were boiled and then fragrantly sautéed with hei bi (dried shrimp), shredded carrot, mushrooms and some waxed meat. Liked the texture of the abacus, slightly chewy without sticking to your teeth. The main drawback is the abacus are pre-packed into a container. The condensed steam seems to make the surface a bit soggy. Believe it will taste much better if eaten immediately after the stir-fry.

 Small tips to beat the queue.
- Poh Cheu provide call & collect service which allow you to skip the long queue. The condition is the order for each kueh flavour is to come in multiple of 10 only.
- If you are only interested in the abacus, glutinous rice and rice cake which are pre-packed, you can just take the number of containers you want and pay directly to the stall owner without having to queue.

 I was never a big fan of Ang Ku Kuehs (or loosely translated as Red Turtle Cake). The ones I usually have are of subpar standard with thick hard skins, but the ang ku kuehs here have quite soft and have the nice chewy exterior skin which I enjoyed tremendously. The kuehs here are homemade, probably explaining the fantastic texture. It is supposed to be like that, a chinese version of japanese mochi!

The Ang Ku Kueh sold here (70 cents each!) comes in a variety of colours and flavours. I had the traditional peanut and tou sa fillings (in red colour), which provided bursts of flavours that complemented the nice chewy kueh skin. They also serve very exotic flavours like mango, green tea and durian. I only managed to try the mango one because the other exotic flavours were not available. The mango paste actually tasted decent and didn’t taste overly artificial or cloyingly sweet.

The main highlight for the soon kueh is probably the smooth, chewy texture of the floor skin which holds the fillings in. They serve it in different fillings too, you can choose between turnip, ku chye and bamboo shoots. I stuck to the traditional turnip one which was not bad! I don’t really take spicy food, but their special sauce (essentially a blend of chili and black sauce) is a must have with their soon kuehs!

The stall claims their kuehs are freshly made and this is evident in the quality of kuehs served. Very satisfying and most kuehs are reasonably priced at 70 cents each. No wonder queues form here!
