Ang Ku Kueh (50cent each)The place started from Changi South and moved to Bedok in 1987. From a humble shop selling Ang Ku Kueh, Lek Lim has expanded to nyonya kueh, Chinese kueh and the latest addition is the deep-fried yam cake.What is special about Lek Lim is that there is No Eggs, No Meat in their Nyonya kueh and suitable for VEGANS. It is also Halal-certified.
Besides ang ku kueh (green bean and coconut version), I like the kueh dadar which was bursting of aromatic, moist coconut filling in a thin pandan crepe. The Kueh Ambon is also surprisingly delectable and chewy.
Even though I have a sweet tooth, the most outstanding kueh was in fact the savoury ones, especially the Ku Chai Kueh (chives kueh)-- 70cent/piece. The fillings are well-fried and the skin is glossy and thin. So good that I did not need the sweet dark gravy and chilli sauce. Even my Folks who tried them gave this ku chai kueh the highest score. It is a MUST TRY. Do get them early before stocks run out for the day!Conclusion:
Lek Lim is a place that serves honest hand-made kuehs that can easily beat any of the factory-made kuehs we often find in the neighbourhood or shopping malls. I am not a kueh-expert so I cannot claim that the kuehs here are the best. For the best taste of the savoury kueh and even some of the sweet kuehs, it might be good to reheat them before consuming.
