Black Ku Kueh


6 July, 2010

At the Peranakan Fiesta 2010, kuehs come in every biodata: three-layered kueh lapis instead of the lucky no.9, violet coloured kueh from gula melaka, and peng kuehs in the know of fashion-hit or miss: red; and black.

Ang Ku Kueh (SGD 0.80)

Discerning as I am; these peng kuehs have switched their IDs. Ang Ku Kuehs? Giants, measuring 7cm in width.

Narrowly-eaten* as I am; peng kuehs are cast in cherry blossoms as opposed to this in turtleback detail (ang ku kueh).

It is some legendary herb! The genial grannies would say on the skin of the orh ku kueh. I prefer it black though; ang kam ooi che lam lam-ma-na chien lam they are all sweet. It is more appropriate to give this savoury an English referral.

Are there any saltish foods that are not distinctively black? How about grey/black foods that wring of another taste on the tongue's taste map?
From family hand-me-down business and into the hotels and back to the masses; the food festival, this ku kueh has met standards for both taste and texture. Tried and tested!



*As opposed to widely-eaten, or widely read.
