Impressed my colleague by correctly identifying the bakery that made these Ang Ku Kuehs just by looking at the imprint of that mould! βπ»βπ»βπ» Matter of fact is, these are from my neighbourhood bakery that my family frequents (& Iβve featured a few times), which explains my familiarity with their mould shape! πππ Of course I can recognise one of my favourite childhood (& extends even to adulthood) snack lah! π€£

Galicier Confectionary had a pop-up booth at Square 2 last week & long queues during lunch hours were a common sight. ππ» My colleague got these traditional treats at $3.50 for 4 β they ran out of peanut ones so we had to make do with mung bean filling!

Iβve always adored their peanut Ang Ku Kuehs, which I felt are really one of the better ones in Singapore (behind Ji Xiang & Poh Cheu that is!) π Their Mung Bean one did not disappoint as well. The mochi-like crimson-red skin was soft & chewy; most importantly it was not sticky to the teeth. ππ»ππ»ππ»

Albeit a bit on the coarse side in my opinion, the generous amount of mung bean filling was a good mix of sweet & savoury with earthy flavours, which fills your mouth up with its aroma instantly. πππ The pandan leaf which it sits atop imparts an alluring pandan fragrance that made this an irresistible treat. β€

Thanks @jc0513 for always feeding me in office! π
