Their claim to fame is their hand made chwee kueh available in 2 sizes; a regular wobbly soft version, and an extra large (XL) palm-sized version of pillowy delight.
.
Often selling out before noon, the rice cakes have a faint grainy sweet flavour.
.
Their preserved daikon radish is crunchy but less sweet than the more popular brands, having a decent vegetal salty savoury flavour.
.
The sambal belachan is a little flat, with just a mild salty spicy note.

Now helmed by 3rd generation owner Eric Ang, since being established in 1958, this is the most expensive version, but also the most accessible, with many outlets across Singapore.
.
While centrally produced, their rice cakes are wobbly soft (softer than most) pleasant with a mild grainy sweet flavour.
.
Their preserved daikon radish is chunky and crunchy, stewed in vegetable oil, with enticing vegetal sweet salty savoury flavour.
.
The sambal belachan is thick but not too spicy, being more savoury sweet with just a mild heat.
.
They also sell other items, and while there's usually a queue, it moves quite briskly.

Founded in 1959 by Mr Lee San Ba, they remain among the few artisanal stalls that hand-make the chwee kueh, having done so for over 60 years.
.
Also, their rendition is the tiniest, cutest version around.
.
Steamed on racks which can hold over a thousand pieces, the rice cake is smooth and soft and moist, yielding easily with grainy sweet flavour.
.
Their preserved daikon radish is chunky, stewed with garlic and pork lard, and is juicy and crunchy. Has robust vegetal salty savoury flavour, more pronounced than elsewhere.
.
Because of its intensity and relative lack of sweet notes, only a small amount is lifted from the claypot warmer, for each serving. Paired with a sambal belachan that is salty spicy in taste.

Since 1999, the Tan family has been painstakingly hand-making their dish, filling the moulds with milled Thai rice, stacking and steaming them in a large circular tower within the stall.
.
Their rice cake has a dense springy texture, very smooth with mild grainy sweet flavour.
.
They also cook their crisp juicy preserved daikon radish on site, stewing it in vegetable oil. Has a bright sweet savoury flavour, less salty earthy notes than elsewhere, I like how generous they are with the topping.
.
Paired with their sambal belachan, which is thick with spicy savoury shrimpy salty flavour, lending a bit more heat than most.

A popular brand with outlets across Singapore, their consistency and quality in serving this lone dish got them the Michelin Bib Gourmand back in 2019.
.
The steamed rice cake is soft, smooth, with a wobbly bounce. Has a mild grainy sweet flavour, evident of the lack of filler starch, and more of the rice itself.
.
The preserved daikon radish is finely chopped, slow stewed with sesame seeds in vegetable oil, having a gentle juicy crunch without being overly oily, and enticing vegetal sweet salty nutty flavour.
.
The sambal belachan is chunky, robust with shrimpy savoury salty spicy flavour, pairing well.
.
The consistently delicious quality, together with its affordability, is a winning combination.
