Famous Traditional Haig Road Putu Piring ($2.50 for 5pcs). They are made of steamed rice flour filled with gula melaka.
They are made on the spot so they will always be piping hot. Nice snack after a meal. Recommend 👍

went on a weekend night and there was a consistent queue of 5-6 pax but was cleared quite fast cos the ladies do their job really fast! very fragrant especially with the coconut shavings and gums melaka inside, i dare say better than those snacks in geylang serai market!
There isn’t anyone queuing when I reached during weekend noon. So sadly, the auntie gave me the pre-packed one which is still slightly warm. However when I opened, the putu piring were stuck together due to condensation. Also, the gula melaka leaked and has hardened up. Nevertheless, this stall is one of the best putu piring I’ve tasted. Soft, fluffy and appropriate amount of gula melaka fillings.
(5 pcs for S$2.50)
I've decided to post this today since many of you were asking about it, and you know I like it enough to go again the following day.

These were made to order, so be sure to hate some on the spot. They were served piping hot (and caution, these were really too hot for the hands), which explains why the fragrance of pandan and coconut wafted in the air as this was in front me.

Although it looks similar to the Chinese tutu kueh, there were two difference: first, the fillings were gula melaka with crystallized bits, instead of peanut or coconut for tutu kueh; and second, the rice flour were more loose and fluffy compared to the other tutu kuehs I've tried (but probably I've not tried enough good tutu kuehs that are as fluffy as this).

Finally get to try the Malay kuku kueh, personally I do prefer the Chinese ones better as I think that their dough is a little too thick and the Gula Melaka is too sweet for my liking. Overall, not so bad but I couldn’t come all the way just for this again.

There was a short queue of about 4-5 people when I reached. I rather see a queue actually so that I know what I'm getting is made-to-order.
I read reviews on their FB page where people complained that the ones they got pre-packed; their rice cakes were stuck together due to condensation. Also, the gula melaka (coconut palm sugar) leaked and were over the rice cakes.
I rather have my steamed rice cakes on the spot, piping hot.
The ones I had appeared thinner than the ones I have tried elsewhere, but the soft, warm and fluffy rice cakes, accompanied by the caramel flavour of gula melaka that melted in my mouth was definitely a sweet treat!
