I have been living far from my homeland since 2011 and to cope with the homesickness, I am able to find solace through food that are available here.
Reading on to my previous posts, I have shared several hawker noodle treats that form part of the rich culinary culture of Singapore.
Today, I will share with you all another local version of our own Filipino delicacy, cuchinta (also spelled kutsinta, kuchinta) -- the Kueh Kosui (kweh ko swee).
As I was told, kueh means cake.
Sweet, soft and chewy -- just the same as cuchinta is made from flour mixture and then steamed and topped with grated coconut.
Best served chilled! Yummy!
I bought this from a local store named Bengawan Solo at the Tampines bus interchange. This store is home to a lot of Nonya baked goodies.
Nonya is a part of the Singaporean Peranakan culture than spans Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian culture in the older times.
No wonder it feels like home to me having a bite on these three badass chewy babies!
Though I am not well versed on this topic of Nonya, I will try to source as many information for my future posts about Nonya food.
One packet has 3 pieces of Kueh Kosui and priced at 2.10SGD.
So there you go.
I hope you liked my sharing for today.
More random posts about my everyday living here in Singapore.
Til next time.😊
Maraming salamat and Mabuhay!
