I have not had these in a long time. What? Look like slugs?

This is definitely food! |
Actually, they are already quite tasty without any sauce. The filling on the inside is peppery, slightly sweet and slightly salty. Goes well with the bland wrap.
I decided to be brave and chose a healthier option by not adding any sauce. Thankfully, they still taste good without sauce. In fact, I think I like them without sauce. Older people like food to be more bland, I suppose. -.-"
In case you are not a local and do not know what these are, they are Soon Kueh, 笋粿, a local steamed dumpling of rice flour skin and chopped turnip filling. A delicacy! Kidding!
OK, time for some hot green tea. Perfect!

Hi Gary,
They do, don't they? LOL. ;p
We Chinese will eat anything!
Soon Kuey... Nice!!! I havent eat them for quite some time too. And normally, I eat them with sweet sauce. But not with fried onion. And specific shop you like to buy from?
Hi Benson,
I buy from a stall in the canteen. I am not particular but the Tiong Bahru ones are better. Used to eat quite often when I was staying in Tiong Bahru. :D
i like soon kueh too! And also kucai kueh!
Hi FoodieFC,
I don't like the taste of Kuchai, however. -.-"
looks yummy.
but i always eat with sweet sauce and chili ...
what is kuchai kueh??
Hi yeh,
Yup, I usually eat with chili sauce and sweet sauce too but I am trying to be healthier in my diet. ;p
Kuchai is a kind of leek, ranked-scented, green, growing from 20 to 40 centimeters high. The bulbs are small, white and clustered. The leaves are green, grasslike, very narrowly linear, flattish, 15 to 30 centimeters long, and 3 to 6 millimeters wide. Source: Kuchai: Uses and benefits.
