Ang Ku Kuih!



I saw those at the market this morning and I could not resist. Red is the colour of celebration and good fortune isn't it? And today being the Chinese New Year public holiday I just had to taste those Ang Ku Kuih. It is exactly the kind of asian delicacy I am fond of. Extremely sticky glutinous rice cakes hiding a delicate and sweet green bean filling. They are part of the traditional family of Malaysian desserts called Kueh Keuh (or Kuih Kuih in some translations). Unfortunately, it seems I am the only one in this house to enjoy this kind of dessert :-(
