About Ang ku kueh

Ang Ku Kueh, a traditional snack from Chinese and Peranakan cuisines, is a small, glutinous rice cake often served during celebrations or auspicious occasions. Its name, meaning "red tortoise cake" in Hokkien, reflects its signature dome-like shape and vibrant red color, symbolizing longevity and prosperity. Made from glutinous rice flour, the chewy exterior encases a variety of fillings like sweet mung bean paste, ground peanuts, or lotus seed paste. While Ang Ku Kueh is low in fat and contains nutrient-rich legumes in its fillings, its sweetness comes from added sugar, which may be a concern for those managing their sugar intake. Additionally, the rice flour contributes to its high carbohydrate content. Moderation is key to enjoying this delightful treat as part of a balanced diet while appreciating its cultural significance.
