Ang Ku Kueh 紅龜粿 @ S$0.70 each
Ang Ku Kueh 紅龜粿 is the Hokkien name for a steamed glutinous rice flour cake stuffed with a sweet filling. The name is derived from the traditional method of making red tortoise shell-shaped cakes as a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Auspicious words are usually carved into Ang Ku Kueh moulds so that they are imprinted on top of the kueh, when they are knocked out of the mould. The words on these kuehs read “寿 shou” which means “longevity”. The kuehs are brushed with oil after steaming for an attractive sheen.
