I personally don't support this outlet of the brand, but this was a treat so I won't grumble lol.
- Rich nuttiness with a savoury earthiness although could be a bit dry, quite pricey and would prefer a little more sweetness to enhance its natural fragrance. [7.5/10]
- Very fragrant and densely packed with grounded nuts though I would have liked them to be less crushed for more crunchiness. [8/10]
- Filling disintegrated into a smooth creaminess in the mouth with its mild sweetness, not artificial tasting [8/10]
- Juicy sweet grated coconut providing crunchiness to the chewy skin, could’ve a more prominent gula melaka flavour. [7.5/10]
- Tasted like corn mixed into salted mung bean paste which could be overpowering, salty sweet flavours felt a bit separate at times. [6.5/10]

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
