Bedok Chwee Kueh

Chwee Kueh (or "water cake" in teochew) is a popular traditional teochew snack liked by all ages and could be taken anytime of the day. Chwee Kueh is made by mixing rice flour and water, the mixture is then steam in little metal cups. The steam chwee kueh is then served hot with chye poh (preserve salted radish) topping that is fried together with diced garlic, shallots and sesame seeds.

Although there are a lot of stalls around Singapore that sell chwee kueh, but I most favourite stall is "Bedok Chwee Kueh". Bedok Chwee Kueh have a few branches around Singapore, so you need not travel all the way down to Bedok for the chwee kueh. :) I normally patron the branch at Bukit Timah Hawker Centre.

The chwee kueh here is soft and tender and the topping has a mixture of taste consisting sweet, saltish and nice fragrance of the sesame seed. A packet of 8 nos. of chwee kueh here cost S$2.00. The chilli paste that goes with the chwee kueh is also very well made and I like it very much.
