Enjoyed this chwee kueh at Eunos MRT hawker centre stall #01-40. The kueh is tender, dense, and has a subtle rice sweetness. I like their chai poh which is crunchy, neither too salty nor greasy. Just nice for me. Their hae bee hiam also quite nice. Please support uncle and auntie.
One of the last hand made chwee kwee in Singapore. A bit firmer and saltier than the popular franchises 😁

Chwee Kueh (water rice cake) is a breakfast dish commonly eaten in Singapore. The rice cake is made with rice flour and water steamed in a metal mould, giving it its signature shape. It is topped with chai poh (preserved radish) that is flavoured with garlic and soya sauce before being fried in oil. Chilli sauce is usually served on the side.
For my challenge, I visited a specialist Chwee Kueh shop at Taman Jurong to get 100 Chwee Kueh to destroy. The shop is run entirely by an old man who has been making Chwee Kueh for decades and has been at this location for 5 years. His Chwee Kueh is very affordably priced at 5/10 for $1.50/$3. There are more famous and Michelin-awarded places out there, but I want to help less well-known and legacy businesses.
The rice cakes on their own are actually rather bland and light, which is normal for rice cakes as they are meant to act as vessels for the toppings. The preserved radish were very savoury and barely sweet, unlike some of the more famous ones. As they were practically deep fried in oil, it was a very oily and cloying topping. The chilli compensated the heaviness of the topping well, with a lightly spicy and heavily smoky flavour.
At 100 rice cakes weighing around 5KG, it was quite a challenge to complete as the oily and heavy preserved radish got to me quick. While adding the chilli sauce helped, I still had to push myself to complete the challenge. As always, if you order a reasonable portion of 5 or 10, this would be a hearty breakfast to start the day with. Do support local businesses and this old man by visiting his Chwee Kueh shop!

During this period, we might not be able to travel abroad but you can now @VisitSingapore through recipes of our well loved local dishes!
Today, we’ll be making a popular snack and breakfast item amongst the Chinese community in Singapore. Chwee Kueh 水粿 is loosely translated as “watery rice cake”. The kueh (pastry part) is made mostly using rice flour, and it is served with chye poh (preserved sweet turnips) on the top. Take note that you’ll need to have moulds to shape the batter for the kueh – cupcake moulds would work too.
Serve your chwee kueh with a generous portion of chye poh and sambal chilli for a Singapore breakfast experience at home!
