Hong Shan is one of the stores that sells handmade kueh, and is definitely worth a try since handmade kuah are constantly replaced by machine-manufactures. given that even my old aunties frequent it, it sure scores high on retaining the traditional taste.
i highly recommend the green ang ku kueh! well u cant see them everywhere, compared to the red ones. the fillings of these are coconut, the kind cooked using brown sugar.. though its a bit on the sweet side, the taste is really rich! very different from the conventional peanut kind. 60cents each. thumbs up!
the soon kueh has quite a lot of variety. my mum bought mang guang, jiu cai, yam and zhu soon. she said the zhu soon kind is rather hard to find nowadays. at 80cents each, price is considerably reasonable.
handmade definitely has sth different from mass-made kuehs!

In the same tiny coffeeshop that houses Fong Kee Duck Rice lies this small unit called Hong Shan that sells a small variety of hand made Kueh. We bought the Ang Ku Kueh, Soon Kueh and Png Kueh to try.
Soon Kueh is so called for a reason. There is supposed to be Soon (Bamboo) in it and not Mang Guang (Turnip) which is pretty prevalent in most of the Soon Kueh that is sold today. Therefore it came as a surprise that the Soon Kueh we bought was filled with Soon and not Mang Guang. For those who didn't know, Soon is crunchier and tastier and emits a slight fragrance as compared to Mang Guang. The Soon Kueh's skin was slightly translucent and slightly elastic, which made for a very good eat.
The Ang Ku Kueh's skin was slightly thicker than usual, but when consumed, didn't feel too starchy. The peanut filling was tightly compacted and every bite guaranteed a mouthful of grounded peanuts. Taste wise was above average, but I've tried better.
The Png Kueh was huge for its price (70cents) but a tad too oily. But hey, all Png Kuehs are oily aren't they? Could never really differentiate between good and bad Png Kuehs so this one was ok to me.
