Ah Yee’s Soon Kueh
I was there 3 times before I managed to have a piece of soon kueh.
First time, the soon kueh was sold out.
Second time, I have to wait for 30 minutes for the soon kueh, but I was in a rush.
So I gave it a miss. Third time, I waited for 20 minutes for my soon kueh.
But it was all worth the wait. As I sat with thehungrycow in front of the stall, we see the friendly aunty attending to many customers, while rolling the dough and making the soon kueh.
“Making soon kueh used to be my hobby. But now, it has become my source of income.”she says, with a smile.
As I see Ah Yee mixes all the glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour skilfully with her hands, my stomach growled.
“Next time, call and reserve your soon kueh!”she reminded me. Her soon kuehs were so popular that, it was 3pm (low peak period) when I went and it was still sold out once it was out of the steamer.
No doubt. Who doesn’t love freshly made soon kuehs?
Using fresh ingredients such as black fungus, dried shrimps, Chinese mushrooms and bamboo shoots, the soon kueh was steamed for 10 minutes or so before the skin turned slightly translucent and ready to be eaten. Ah Yee was very generous with the fillings. Each and every soon kuehs were fat and filled to the brim. Drizzle abit of sweet sauce and chilli, I slowly savour my piece of soon kueh. Each piece was only $0.90.
And how I can only eat that when I have waited for so long? Of course, I ordered their rice kueh ($1) and pumpkin kueh ($1) too.
Loving every bits of it!
