Damn good kueh

Being in Amoy Street food centre, I had the pleasure of tasting the best nonya kueh in Singapore ever. I had previously read about Sgkueh's super duper good onde onde which was No.1 one Straits Times onde onde list and of course, the reviews on ST Foodies made me crave it even more.



Sgkueh is opened by a guy called Michael Tan who finally opened a stall front in Amoy Street after previously selling his kueh from home. When I first heard of Sgkueh.com, I had my doubts about the kueh being sold in a store with such a corny and commercialized name. But after reading reviews, man, that durian onde onde is getting harder and harder to resist.



There's quite a variety of kueh being sold there including the traditional onde onde ($1.20 for 3), sweet and savoury Bingka Ubi, Tapioca kueh and a spunky variety of creations including durian onde onde (80c each) and differently flavoured kuehs w/ or w/o coconut including sweet potato kueh, mocha kueh, tau swan kueh, red bean kueh and some others which I may have missed out. These go for 60c each for the ones without coconut (bigger portion) and 40c each for those coated with coconut.

Being quite full from the min jiang kueh and wanton mee already, I only ordered the traditional onde onde, durian onde onde and much talked about sweet potato kueh which does not contain artificial colourings by the way.

What I read did not prepare me for what came next. I have never, ever... ever, tasted such soft onde onde, ever. The onde onde is soft like a custurd that you have to hold it delicately with your fingers. Pop it in your mouth and mash it with your tongue and feel the softness coupled with warm gula melaka. I'm telling you, I was in heaven at that moment.



The durian onde onde was larger in size but similar in texture with warm, real durian oozing out the moment you bite into it, oh man...it's like.. Omph!



The sweet potato kueh was of course, amazingly good. Not too sweet, good real sweet potato taste and soft like silk. I would think that the other kuehs carry the same, heavenly texture.



Sgkueh really does sell darn good, melt-in-your-mouth kueh which I think is a result of a very high sweet potato/tapioca to glutinous rice flour ratio. In fact, their the best I ever tasted! I know I'm a fan of Bengawan but sorry boys, these guys are of a different league. It's a pity that I'm stuffed from the wanton mee. The next time round, I'm gonna buy ALL of the kueh and sample them one by one. Till then, wait for my review!
