Delicious Colourful Kueh

There is no doubt about it: ACCOUNTING ASSIGNMENTS SUCK.

Yesterday we printed and handed in the suckiest one to date. My brain is still in zombie mode :(.... and when you're trying to switch out of your exam brain, you know there is one thing that will never fail you! And that something is.. *strikes superman pose*.. the yumminess of freshly baked kueh!

My sister bought these for me as a surprise the other day :-)

Sweet Green and White Layered Bean KuehSweet Green and White Layered Bean Kueh

A typical layered nonya kueh! It is sweet and a bit starchy - use a fork to delicately cut into the sweet layers, or forget what your parents said about playing with your food and peel them off one-by-one

This kueh is chewy and dense
You have to eat this in small bites to really taste the glutinous rice
Man, aren't the colours so cool :)

Custard Egg KuehCustard Egg Kueh

Soft and wobbly, this kueh was falling apart almost before I could spoon it into my mouth! It had a very rich and eggy flavour, is good in small doses, but not so good if you try and eat half the kueh in one go, which is what I did (o__________o;)

Baked Tapioca KuehBaked Tapioca Kueh

This kueh had been baked for so long even the edges were crunchy! Tapioca kueh has a mild flavour, it's more about the thick, rice-like texture, with the sweet undertone of palm sugar. Mmmm, palm sugar~~


In other news, one of my thongs snapped on Saturday :(
So I went thong shopping today
At the thong shop:

Shop assistant to girl in front of me: HI LOVELY! FOURTEEN DOLLARS THANKS
Girl: *hands over cash*

Shop assistant: THANKS LOVELY. NEXT PLEASE

And then, as I walk up to the counter;

Shop assistant: HI LOVELY!

Hahaha

I think I may start calling everyone Lovely from now on
