Part of our tasty fare is the plethora of kueh in Singapore, a selection of traditional delicacies that can be eaten as a snack or dessert.

Photography: Hylman Suwandi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Kueh Tutu<\/h3>\n<p>Steamed rice cakes in pretty moulds filled with ground peanuts or grated coconut, kueh tutu is served on pandan leaves and easily gobbled down any time of the day. It is believed to have originated in China and is similar to putu piring, a popular Malay snack with a gula melaka (palm sugar) filling and grated coconut topping.<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Bahulu<\/h3>\n<p>Think of it as an Asian rendition of the madeleine. These mini sponge cakes are fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside, and they\u2019re typically lower in sugar, which makes \u2018em a healthy(ish) snack.<\/p>\n<h3>Ang Ku Kueh<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_220617\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-220617\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-220617 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ang-ku-kueh.png\" alt=\"ang ku kueh | kueh in singapore\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ang-ku-kueh.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/ang-ku-kueh.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-220617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It comes in a variety of colours and flavours. Photography: Jonathan Lin via Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the first things you\u2019ll notice about this \u2018red tortoise cake\u2019 is its brightly coloured oval shape. It\u2019s a soft, glutinous rice cake with a sweet filling, typically mung bean or peanut paste. While the kueh has its roots in China, the ones in Singapore have Nyonya influences, which elevate the flavour and appearance of this delicacy. These days, you can also find ang ku kueh stuffed with everything from durian to yam.<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Lopes<\/h3>\n<p>Made from glutinous rice, these sticky cakes (also called Kueh Lupis) are usually found in triangular shapes and coated with grated coconut. They get their lovely fragrance from pandan used in the cooking process. Best eaten slightly warm, the tea time treats won\u2019t be complete without a sweet serving of gula melaka.<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Salat<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_220618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-220618\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-220618 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-salat.png\" alt=\"kueh salat\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-salat.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-salat.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-220618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: HarriAnns via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The simple two-layered cake is hard to miss! Most identifiable by its bright green top layer (which is actually a rich coconut and pandan custard), it is paired with a bottom layer of glutinous rice to balance out the sweetness and creaminess. Sometimes, you\u2019ll find different variations of the glutinous rice \u2013 from blue pea-tinged versions to ones mixed with red rice grains for an extra crunch.<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Dadar<\/h3>\n<p>For a quick sugar rush, tuck into mini pandan crepe rolls filled with gula melaka and grated coconut. The popular Peranakan treat can be found just about anywhere, especially in the mornings at Malay food stalls. We\u2019d say save \u2018em for when you need a glucose kick though. Don\u2019t waste the good stuff too early in the day.<\/p>\n<h3>Ondeh Ondeh<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176655\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176655 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/Ondeh-Ondeh.jpg\" alt=\"Wait till you get that burst of gula melaka when you bite into ondeh ondeh!\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/Ondeh-Ondeh.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/Ondeh-Ondeh.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/Ondeh-Ondeh.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wait till you get that gula melaka ooze. Photography: Karen via Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Round, bite-sized and green, these sweet potato or glutinous rice cakes are coated with grated coconut and filled with liquid gula melaka. Just a fair warning: They burst open with a molten core once you bite down on them, and they\u2019re highly addictive (not to mention easy to pop into your mouth).<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Bugis<\/h3>\n<p>Kueh Bugis is a sticky and chewy tidbit, thanks to its mixture of glutinous rice flour, coconut cream and gula melaka. It\u2019s similar to ondeh ondeh, but cooked by way of steaming instead of boiling.<\/p>\n<h3>Kueh Lapis<\/h3>\n<p>Another one that catches the eye, kueh lapis is vibrant in colour. Made from tapioca flour, rice flour and coconut milk, this sweet treat has a sticky feel and glossy sheen. Oh, and you have to eat it by peeling off each layer, one at a time. That way, you get to prolong your piece of cake, too\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_220619\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-220619\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-220619 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-lapis.png\" alt=\"kueh lapis in singapore\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-lapis.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/harrianns-kueh-lapis.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-220619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kueh Bingka Ubi and Kueh Lapis.
