Ang Ku Kuih (红龟粿) or Ang Koo Kueh ? Or maybe it is spelled as Ang Ku Kueh ? Who cares ! Being born in a hokkien family this traditional Chinese snack is no stranger to me. ‘Ang Ku Kuih’ in Hokkien pronunciation literally means Red Tortoise Dumpling because of the motive on the dumpling which looks like the back of a turtle.

Aren’t these just pleasing to the eyes ? Instead of having the traditional ‘turtle back’ shape , these are in shapes of roses and pumpkins.

The skin of these homemade kuihs are fragrant, tender and brightly colored with NATURAL coloring.
Traditionally, the color of it is obviously red, since ‘Ang’ means red in hokkien. Nowadays, they do come in different colors representing different flavors but they are still referred as ‘Ang Ku Kuih’. I am a 'bean lover', so there is no surprise that my favourite one goes to the one with the sweet and savory mung bean paste filling. It is so smooth that it melts in your mouth like cotton candy.
