Xing Xing Odeh Odeh Tapioca Cake - Handmade kuehs
 |
| YAY! I had a weekday off that day and I decided to take a walk around the CBD area in search for desserts or snacks to munch on while most people were busy at work. I specially went to try the popular Tian Tian Chicken Rice for lunch before the lunch crowd outbreak and it was really tasty! I noticed a queue of aunties at this ondeh-ondeh ; tapioca cake outlet and ended up buying a couple of those chewy munchies. |

| Peering through the glass pane, I noticed that only 4 snacks were sold here. The ingredients used were mainly tapioca, shredded coconut, palm sugar and obviously glutinous rice flour. I spotted the uncle behind making more of these snacks by hand and I basically bought everything to try! You don't always have to indulge in cakes and pastries to gain satisfaction as these kuehs were also yummy in their own ways. |

| My top favorite was the tapioca cake, coated generously with shredded coconut! It was the softest tapioca cake I have ever eaten and I could barely hold the pieces upright without breaking them. The kueh kosui was firmer and chewier and had a wonderful aroma and taste of gula melaka (palm sugar). I was also addicted to this kueh. The odeh odeh / lor mai qi (glutinous rice balls) were like irregular ping pong balls (not exactly round though) with thin extremely stretchy skin. They were soft but too sticky as they kept annoyingly sticking to my fingers. The amount of coconut / peanut fillings were so generous that I found the peanuts too compact, resulting in cluster formation. The worst was the Ubi Kayu which I stopped after a mere bite. It was like eating into pure tapioca flesh, only mildly sweetened by a thin layer of sugar on top. |
