Many of you from overseas might not seen this. This is a local delicacy. A Teochew food. (Teochew is a clan).
I think its something that needs an acquired taste.
It's called Ku Chai Kueh. "Ku Chai" is garlic chives. Kueh can be tranlasted as Cake, or Tapas in Spanish.
So you can call this it's Asian Chives Tapas. Try it next time you come to Singapore.
I would certainly give it a try. It looks good!
ReplyDeleteThe inside looks wonderful, but I have reservations about the shell. What is it made of??
