Hi Ghib, I notice you like Tiong Bahru quite a lot and have done a few vlog there. It is definitely is a wonderful place to visit. Just to share some history of the Tiong Bahru estate. Back in the 1930s, it was also known as a Mistress slum. The locals called it “Den of Beauties (mĕi rén wō )” 美人窝, colloquially known as “Mistress Village (èr nai chūn )” 二奶村 for housing mistresses of rich men. Due to the high costs of flats, Crazy Rich Asian men commonly kept their second homes stashed away in Tiong Bahru. The estate’s proximity to Great World Amusement Park also drew cabaret dancers and ‘pippa girls’ (aka prostitutes) as inhabitants of the flats with their ‘majies’ or minders. Of course, there are more history to the estate awaiting for us to discover.😌🌼🌺

Ordinary Observer that’s right. Ghib always give good and flattering reviews. Shop owners should appreciate the marketing exposure that they are getting that traditional advertising cannot achieve. This is the best form of ‘word of mouth’ recommendation.

The green kuih is called Kuih Salat (sah-laat). It's a kuih with glutenous rice with a coconut & pandan jelly on top. It's a pretty popular malay kuih especially during wedding receptions. The brown/orange kuih is the same kuih but different variation of one another; a brown sugar or tapioca mixture with coconut & flour (Kueh ubi bingka i believe). Glad to see more kuih content as usual! Bengawan solo is great but I think the best kuih comes from small businesses / malay home business ran by makciks. Nothing beats homemade kuehs!

Hi can I check Kueh Salat = Kueh Talam = Kueh Seri Muka right?
@ixactan694 жыл бұрын
@@ylw Pardon me, but I have no idea too. To be honest, due to my limited knowledge I have not heard of Kueh Talam and Kueh Seri Muka before. After Googling online, I notice Kueh Seri Muka seems to resemble Kueh Salat. I believe due to close relationship in the region across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, there should be many similar food with slight changes catering to local tastebuds and preference. Like I heard Mee Siam is quite different across the mentioned countries too.
@alexs_334 жыл бұрын
@@ylw Salat and seri muka are the same. They are just different names by malays & indonesians. Kueh Talam is different where the white portion is a coconut custard rice flour mix vs glutenous rice

@@ylw yes it's the same. I called it Kueh Seri Muka to be more specific. Some call the other 2. Kueh Talam is more generic description of this type of kueh.

Bengawan Solo offers more authentic Peranakan kuehs 👍 Galicier Pastry sells a mixture of pastries including some “Nyonya kuehs”. 5:36 The two-layer green kueh with glutinous rice at the bottom and the green custard (a mixture coconut milk, eggs, flour and sugar). It is known by many names Pulut Serikaya (Malaccan Peranakan) or Kueh Salat or Kueh Seri Muka.

5:36 If I am not wrong, that should be kueh salat. The rice is glutinous rice, which is the same rice used for bak chang. The green portion is kaya, which I am sure Ghib-san is super familiar, since you are a fanboy of Yakun. 😁

if the Kuih salat is your number 1 among them, wow that makes you one of us. It's indeed a classic. Mochi or glutinous rice is as I know a traditional taste of Japan, perhaps that's also why you are able to appreciate and pick this one out among them.

Ghib, you should try the ondeh ondeh from Tiong Bahru Market. The name of the shop is HarriAnn’s Delight. In my opinion, it’s better than bengawan solo. There is a crunch (they put a small piece of brown rock sugar, and that’s the magic). when you bite into it. Btw HarriAnn’s has several outlets.
Glad 🙏that Ghib San is very famous n popular now...💖

Oji-San, thank you for showing us this hidden Gem, doesn't know it existed. The brown kueh with coconut shaving is called Kueh Ko Swee.. Anyway, Apple Pie and Egg Tarts are not Nonya kueh, but it's good that they sell these, and they taste better as it is made with a personal touch and not by machine, like the big fanchisee.

Thanks for sharing ! I would visit that shop if I were in the vicinity. I personally like the kueh dodoh (black colour kueh with sticky chewy texture). Bengawan Solo has became the commercial version of nonya kueh with outlets all over the Island, while they may not be the "best", but they are a good introduction for visitors and also convenient for travellers to buy some at the airport before they return. I saw that you have travelled to many places and tried lots of different food from all over the world and also all over Singapore, however the only malay food you tried (on video) was Nasi Lemak? Maybe you have eaten some during your travels, just not on video... if that is not the case, it might be worth to look for some nice malay food such as Mee Rebus, mee siam, mee soto, etc.
