When I approached the stall, I was impressed by the little chicken bowls the wa kuih were in. So traditional! But alas, these were merely for display as my wa kuih was served in disposable plastic bowls instead.
They are open as early as 7.45am till sold out. Have you tried Wa Kuih yet? Do have a try before such a traditional snack disappears from my sight.
The wa kueh really depended on the slightly sweet brown sauce (like a less viscous chee cheong fun sauce) to do the heavy lifting in terms of flavour. The kueh itself seemed to lack the inherent kueh fragrance, and was a bit too firm from what I remembered, although the mushroom bits and hae bi studded within were a nice touch. The whole thing missed a touch of complexity and fragrance, and was a bit too clean tasting.
The rice cake, on the other hand, tasted like nuomifan, especially with its bits of shiitake and dried shrimp. It's not bad, but that raw garlic means that one will have to plan ahead to make sure that they don't have contact with many human beings afterwards.
