Red hill chwee kueh ( Hong Shan chwee kueh )
Redhill market

This stall has a huge signboard that says “ redhill chwee kueh “ in Chinese.

Think smooth rice cakes with the QQ texture with a nice faint rice fragrance covered with roughly chopped crunchy preserved vegetables that lends such a nice juxtaposition of textures against the soft rice cakes.

This is chwee kueh at its most traditional. I like that the persevered radish ( chye Po) was savoury rather than sweet and this complemented the home made chilli ( which had a tinge of sweet ) quite well .

Mr Chan , the friendly stall owner has been selling chwee kueh since his teenage days ( at prince Edward market ).

These days he operates only on Saturdays and Sundays so be sure to catch him only on the weekends ( 8 am to 7pm or till sold out ).
