At the West side of Singapore, there is a well-known hawker center along Jurong East Avenue 1, which houses lots of nice eateries right under one roof..
One of the ever-popular ones is this petite old stall selling traditional handmade Teochew Kueh – 手工潮州粿 which lures many die-hard fans on a daily basis!
The stall is no other than “Lai Heng Handmade Teochew Kueh 莱兴手工潮州粿“, located at Yuhua Hawker Centre, at unit #01-218.
There is always long queues at this stall, which sells many traditional comfort snack delights such as, Gu Chai Kueh (Chinese Chives Cake), Soon Kueh (Turnip Cake), and Png Kueh (Glutinous Rice Cake) etc, which are all handmade daily and stuffed with generous fillings.
The staff features both steamed (for the original taste!) and pan-fried (crispy outer skins and chewy on the inside!) kuehs options..
The hawker stall ordered large quantities of fresh chives on a daily basis..
..and dice them to fine tiny bits for the fillings of their tasty Chinese Chives Cake – Gu Chai Kueh
Once all the Keuks are “filled” by hands, they are arrange nicely on large round plates and placed on top of each other, awaiting for the “steaming” or “pan-fried” process!
The staff painstakingly molds the flour dough repeatedly to ensure consistently for the “skin” of their Kuek..
Permitted (vegetarian-friendly) colouring is added to give it a pinkish exterior!
Prices are prominently displayed in front of their stall.. very affordable!
We ordered their Gu Chai Kueh (Chinese Chives Cake) and Png Kueh (Glutinous Rice Cake), and dip some sweet black saurce and chilli sauce by the side.. the fillings inside are really generous and tasty!
The Png Kueh (Glutinous Rice Cake) contain flavorful glutinous rice, crushed peanuts and bits of dried shrimps!
The freshly-diced Chives inside their Gu Chai Kueh (Chinese Chives Cake) are nicely-steamed to perfection and emits a subtle sweet aroma from within!
