Ang ku kueh? It's a mix of SEA Fujian (Hokkien) and Malay I suspect....Ang (Hokkien: Red) ku (Hokkien: turtle?) Kueh...not sure what the root language is, but I would guess the closest translation would be "steamed" dumpling.... Pictured below... when they were introduced to me as a kid, they were red mochi-like dumplings (on banana leaf) with some sort of filling (see FlyerEC's legend)... I wasn't a fan of them although they have grown on me as time has gone by...But kueh in general are typically steamed...

Ang ku kueh is what is shown below... Usually sweet...
Tutu kueh (sometimes mixed up with putu piri)
Also sweet... usually filled with guala malaka but there are other flavours as well...
Soon kueh a savoury dumpling...
Gu chai kueh another savoury dumpling made of asian chives.... people will know you ate these...
(narration is in teochew/chui chow... )

And those are just some of the more common versions... If you're in Singapore/Malaysia just wander around a hawker centre and you will eventually find someone selling them...

<'scuse me while I now go find some food to snack on>

Will request more of these for next time and also asking about other flavours 😉 . Do not want to be so presumptuous even though these young friends are being generous ( been buying stuff from them too ) .
Do not care for the other fillings given this time round .
So they're in the business? That's cool. I only know of I think maybe two places that make mini ones, but they're usually not what I'm hankering for. Maybe next time one of my relatives is holding a pot luck when I'm there (although I'm more interested in trying that vegetarian otah I saw)... Pulot inti looks nice... I suspect my next trip there is going to cost me dearly with all the foods we have been discussing lately.

Thanks. My first shot only hurt for about 24/36 hours... but wasn't that bad (I've had the same effect with the regular flu shot). This second shot took me by surprise. Fortunately my team lead was quite understanding... my stove on the other hand, will need to be opened and cleaned if I don't want to smell burnt stuff...
