Ji Xiang Confectionery
so I decided to try it out since it's quite out of way for me to buy ang ku kuek
Peanut - didn't much strong taste for peanut but really normal taste.
Corn - felt that it's quite coarse filling for corn bits and not really that fine filling.
Coconut - didn't much strong taste for coconut but really normal taste.
Throwback post - Has been my family’s fav ang ku kueh ever since we discovered them via groupbuy

I have been having this since I was a child! I used to live in tanjong pagar and my mom would buy this often. I didn't enjoy Ang Ku Kueh much then but growing up now I realised Ji Xiang Confectionary really set the bar high for me. I haven't found any other Ang Ku Kueh I liked better than this one.
My favourites are their peanut, sweet bean ($1 each), yam ($1.10) and durian ($2), although the yam sells out quite early and is unavailable when I reach at about 2pm usually. Durian is also a seasonal flavor and not available every day. I would recommend going early if you can to try the other cool flavors they have, and also because they sell out by 4pm sometimes and may close early!
Black Sesame Ang Ku Kueh (S$2)
Available at @jixiangconfectionery
Wish for a richer flavour
Common looking but tastes exceptionally good! Skin is not too thick, not too thin, not overly sticky and easy to chew.
Sweetness of peanut filling is just right! Love it!
Ang ku kueh @ $1 each
We wanted 4 but auntie says buy 5 put in the box looks nicer so we got (from left to right) 2 peanut, 1 sweet bean paste, 1 salty bean paste, 1 coconut. They all taste good and the skin-to-filling ratio is great! If only we had it fresh then would be even better.
These shaped like tortoise shell kueh have emerged over the years from the traditional red one with peanut filling with now in various colours and fillings. The kuehs over here are hand-made freshly daily to maintain their freshness and texture. The ratio of skin to filling was good and I like how soft and chewy the skin was and it reminds me of mochi. Most of the fillings were moist without being too dry and sweet.
We ordered almost all the flavours except coconut which was sold out at the time of our visit. The flavours we tried were peanut, sweet bean, salted bean, corn and yam
Most of the flavours are priced at $1 each except for yam which cost $0.10 more than others.
Yam ang ku kueh ($1.10 each) from jixiang everton! Had initially wanted to get the coconut angkukueh as well but it was already sold out at 12noon! Heard that one can reserve the kuehs before going down, so do call ahead to reserve if you wish to get your desired akk/buying in bulk!
Between this and poh cheu, i still prefer poh cheu’s akk though for the simple reason that jixiang’s yam akk isnt pure yam but mixed with mung beans and i really dislike mungbeans haha!
But it still makes a good secondary substitute when im at outram park area and just craving some quality soft chewy angkukuehs
Opposite of yam, I liked this but my brother didn't. U can tell from the colour it's different from normal, somehow it's juicier but not as intense in flavour as normal gula melaka
The savouriness is not too strong but it's clearly savoury. Moreover there's a little bit of heat. I really liked this
I particularly liked this. The corn flavour is profound and the corn kernels added little bursts of sweetness
New flavour. It's abit weird that it's not actual cempedak flesh but the flavour was intense enough so no complaints
It's not durian puree, rather it's their usual filling+ durian. The taste was still pretty strong tho
Their skin is thin, and has a good balance between chew and softness. Not greasy but when you touch it u realise it's a lot of oil. Nothing to pick on, tho I think Poh cheu edges them out.
we could really taste the yam and it’s natural sweetness (instead of being artificially sweet). there was a inconsistency in the paste - mostly smooth, with some chunks - but it gave a little bite to the fillings.
in general, the skin can be quite oily by definition of many. however, it’s the soft, chewy, slightly elastic texture of the skin, combined with the generous fillings that draws us back to these, especially if you eat them fresh on that day itself. if kept overnight, we’d recommend to pop inside the microwave with a bowl of water by the side to bring back the texture.
the corn kernels would burst as one bites into it, giving a different twist to the usual fillings. reminded us of a thick corn soup, being slightly savoury-sweet.

filled with juicy, fragrant coconut shreds. though it’s sweeter than the lot, the level was still acceptable for us. it did remind us of kueh dar dar.
