Orh Ku Kueh



7 July, 2010

The Singapore Food Festival permeates localised venues as well as right into our very doorsteps! (Doorsteps=the basement of heartland malls scattered as contingents all over the island).

Ang Ku Kueh (Kueh 4 for SGD 2.00)

Here at Rainbow Lapis, one could almost see the checked ginghams and strings amongst the jars of homemade kaya, homemade curry, and dainty pastries left in the stand. Entire marmalade pantry Singapore-style! Only that they don't happen to stack English atop dialects like the ang ku kueh (tortoise shell), or its variant the black ang ku kueh.

P.S. Take a whiff at the oils and you will know its the orh(sweet), take a glance(ice-rock hard) and you will know its bean paste, not chai por.
