红龟糕
This hidden confectionery sells traditional Indonesian kuehs from ondeh ondeh to kueh lapis, all at $0.70 a piece.
Their Ang Ku Kuehs are STUFFED with filling; bursting with it. They come in two flavours: peanut and green bean.
Taste-wise: I'll be honest, it ain't the best, but it ain't bad either. The kueh skin was a tad too alkaline for my liking. Perhaps I was just there a little too late. You might have better luck getting a good box of these famed red cakes earlier in the day.
If anything, the overflowing filling would make anyone's stomach happy.
Tip: The "寿" (shòu) on the kueh means long life or longevity, as in 人寿年丰。So here's to a long life of good food shared with good friends! 🐢
Prior to coming here, I had no exposure to canelés, so I set no expectations. But biting into one, its subtle flavour unpretentious, I was pleasantly surprised by a mild sweetness. But I must warn that it is an acquired taste.
What are canelés?
Little crispy pastries with spongy custard centres within thick caramelised walls.
Think condensed kueh bahulus.
Say it with me: KEH-nuh-lay.
