The confectionary is none other than Ji Xiang at Block 1 Everton Park with its traditional taste and delicate chewy skin in lovely pastel colours.
In Hokkien, which literally translated to "red tortoise cake" which is made from steamed glutinous rice flour filled with different types of ingredients such as roasted peanut, mung bean paste and the latest filling being durian.The different types of pastries are cooked prior before they are hand moulded individually so that the ang ku kueh skin would remain chewy and thick.
This confectionary was established at Everton Park since 1989 with a humble beginning of only two common flavours of peanut and mung bean paste.There are eight different flavours distinguished in different skin colour available at this confectionary including yam, coconut, salted bean paste and seasonal fruit durian.
A good ang ku kueh has soft chewy texture and the skin does not stick to the teeth.
Here are the three selected ang ku kueh which I bought.
Yam filling in light purple, grey with salty beans and the most flavourful of all, the durian filling in light yellow.

These kueh are dyed as a symbol of good fortune and auspiciousness.
The imprint and the shape of the kueh is to signify longevity.

Attached is a photo of an impression of the ang ku kueh design from a mould.
