MAKAN KAKIS WITH DENISE & CHRISTOPHER TAN - AH YEE'S SOON KUEH

View descriptionShare

As we navigate these days of automation, industrialisation and mass production, it feels like we’ve lost something that feels vital and personal. What’s missing is that human touch, a sense of belonging and a connection to a remembered past. In my personal search for culinary authenticity, I found a taste of the past that connects me to the Teochew side of my heritage. These traditional savoury kuehs were a delight to discover, thanks to the recommendation of my Makan Kaki and author of the cookbook The Way of Kueh, Christopher Tan. Through the course of research for his book, he met Madam Tay Lee Tiong, a formidable woman with an equally formidable skill in creating traditional Teochew snacks like soon kueh, png kueh and koo chye kueh (all of which are variations of steamed rice cakes or dumplings, stuffed with different fillings).
