Greenies in the greyish stuff.

Many of you from overseas might not seen this. This is a local delicacy. A Teochew food. (Teochew is a clan).

I think its something that needs an acquired taste.



It's called Ku Chai Kueh. "Ku Chai" is garlic chives. Kueh can be tranlasted as Cake, or Tapas in Spanish.

So you can call this it's Asian Chives Tapas. Try it next time you come to Singapore.

Kate,
The dumpling skin is soft and made of glutinous flour. chewy!

Olivier,
Maybe you might in some chinese restaurants in Paris.


Snoopy,
Yeah, some people pour so so so much sweet sauce and the chilli sauce on it.


Dijah,
Memang sedap. I ingat ada yang halal kat KL.
