Seeing the "3-layered-kuih" will always remind me of Chinese New Year. One slice of Tee Kueh/Nian Gao/年糕/Kuih Bakul (sweet, sticky glutinous rice cake ) sandwiched in between one slice of yam and another slice of sweet potato; dipped into batter prior to deep fried. Dunno what is the name of the kuih though. Kuih Bakul Kuih? LOL. Dun care lah. Sapu aje.The first time I came across it was during Chinese New Year more than a decade ago - when I spent the festive seasib together with my coursemate in her hometown in Ipoh. During my university days, I didn't go back home during Chinese New Year coz the semester break was too short for me to travel long distance back home to Sarikei.
p/s: Btw, I didn't fried the kuih myself. I bought it from the food stall. Kkkkkkk..

ReplyDeleteDon't think we got it here in indonesia.... looks yummy... is it really really really sweet? must be a lot of calories, no? hehehe....
ReplyDeleteben,
ReplyDeletei also never see that type of kuih in the past (prior to entering university, which was more than a decade ago :P ). But the kuih is now available in Kuching liao. Since my mother bought it in Kuching (but i dunno where she bought it lah).
selba,
Not really that "sweet" cos the counteract by the layer of yam and sweet potato. But cannot take in large amount though.. else will feel "jelak" :P
Hahhaa... yeah, it's high calories stuff :P
Oiseh, there are none of this kuih here in Italy too, but maybe still got a slice or two for me in Penang? Got? I bring TUPPERWARE, big enough to fit Ah Boy in wan..
ReplyDeleteOh, I have eaten this before but dunno what it is called... the sweet bit can get quite jelak one...
ReplyDeletenian gao, my favourite CNY-related snack! my mom used to steam them in a dish and I'd pull and pull and pull 'cos they're just so sticky-gooey.. so nice. I like 'em better that way than fried in batter.
ReplyDeletei lyk the tee kueh my fren mom gv me coz she spesel order less sugar wan n i just slice it n eat...
ReplyDelete:D
u so lazy of coz lar u wont cook...LOL
Wow. Long time never eat this (heaty) goodie liao. But I don't quite like it if the tee kueh is too sweet.
ReplyDeleteLB,
ReplyDeleteThe kuih is always available..
from the hawker stall nearby my house
Kkkkkkk...
Trying to imagine how many pieces of kuih u wanna stuff inside that gigantic tupperware
*open*
rinnah,
yeah, cannot eat too much
else sure jelak kaw-kaw
may,
hehehe... i enjoy pulling the sticky nian gao too.
and cut it apart with string instead of using knife.
I prefer the steamed one too. Too bad cannot feed Ah Boy cos sked he might get choked :P
ah nel,
ReplyDeleteso syiok,
got free tee kueh
summore just slice & eat
luckily u didn't mention just open mouth & eat instead :P
i only cook prn, when necessary :P
day dreamer,
Hehehe, nowadays everyone is health conscious (okie okie, most people lah, but there are exception) and prefer taking low sugar products. Home made tee kueh is still the best, cos we can control the amount of sugar we use ;)
WAHSEH!!
ReplyDeletehow come can find the kueh outside of cny ge?!?!?!?
