Support local hawker fare. I never liked chwee kueh when I was a kid.. I thought it was an old man's food. Maybe that's true, cos as I got closer to being an old man, I grew to love them as my favorite breakfast item. Unfortunately I don't eat them often for a few reasons - i) I don't take breakfast on weekdays; ii) there aren't many good chwee kueh around my neighborhood when I just want to have a leisurely-paced breakfast nearby on weekends.

But thankful for Jian Bo chwee kueh, which is definitely my favorite chwee kueh! Those steamed rice flavour has such a soft texture.. mushy to the bite. It's one of those chwee kueh I don't mind eating without chai por, yet I must eat this with the chai por because the chai por here is so good! I think it has been fried under decent fire, hence the aroma. It's quite oily though, so eat with moderation!

Thanks to my friend @spottypuff who packed Jian Bo chwee kueh back for me from Tiong Bahru market. 📸: Fuji X-T1
