Kueh Ko Swee
Usually I don't like nonya kueh, especially those cooked with coconut milk. A real turnoff!!! The only kueh that can attract me is the above, maybe because it has to be chilled before serving or the chewy texture that make me fall in luv with it. I got this recipe from my uncle who is very good in making this kueh.
Even though I omitted adding one ingredient (alkaline) from the recipe, since it's quite difficult to purchase and I heard that alkaline is actually illegal. Anyway, the turnout of the kueh is still yummylicious! My colleagues luv the soft chewy taste of it. Try it today!
