⁠@@lontongstroong?? The uncle is Chinese, what Ang Moh?

The complete name for the first dish is Wanh Ko Kueh 碗糕粿 . In Hokkien lingo when we question someone ‘what are you doing / plotting’ we would say ‘Simi Wanh Ko ? ‘ . This dish has disappeared from the hawker like 40years, it can only be experienced in Taiwan with a richer condiments like braised egg and minced pork , no not even can be found in Fujian anymore.

But its actually not common to see sup Kambing in most Hawker centers. Even mamak shops don't normally serve this nowadays. Those that do does not taste that good.

I really like the wah kueh dish when i used to live around Queenstown area in days of old. There was this stall in the old Bukit Merah central hawker centre that sells it. I still remember that owner only top over the plain cake with steaming hot gravy sauce that is pure comfort in rainy days

Many of the ohhs and ahhs gushing about this do not realise it was only an ordinary tummy filler and meant only to supplement the diet of low wage workers and budget tight families in the past. Many of us who ate it are still grateful at how good it tasted while making life bearable in Singapore back then.

@boonchan2166

Ай бұрын

Yes the Bukit Merah one .. his sauce was darker ..

The preserved vegetables in the hor fun is the preserved radish which is also used in chye tow kueh. You basically had a chye Poh hor fun (I believe it is Teochew in origin) but done in a unique way.

I actually saw and tried Wah Kueh about 5 years ago in Maxwell Food Centre! I saw this dish of kueh I had never seen before, in the display of the Ang Ku Kueh stall run by the uncle who is often seen even late into the night, nodding off behind the counter. I decided to try it. I had always admired him for his tenacity and made sure to get some ang ku kueh whenever I went to Maxwell. The Wah kueh was unassuming but intense and memorable.

Wow, the uncle selling this is very well-spoken in English.

"Bowl cake" very nostalgic.. many Singaporeans know and love this hawker food.

This $1 stall bidding was in the news at that time especially in Chinatown HC. But it has to sell Indian food, that's why the stall owner only can sell Indian food

You are amazing Ghib! How did you even find out about Wa kueh? Even when young, I only managed to eat maybe once or twice. It's hardly seen anywhere anymore.

Wan kueh, a dish I have only have it two times, 45 years ago. I always think about this dish. So delicious.

This country is certainly a food paradise - diverse background advantage.

A lot of dishes in the 90s are disappearing or have already disappeared in the early 2000s. Now it is almost the same thing across all hawker centres and kopitiam.

Plan to bring my mother to try out this on my visit to Singapore in June..thank you.

Lov the stall guy. Dedicated.

When there are Japanese watching this video it means you have introduced him to Japan viewers.

Thanks Ghib San!!! Poh chai poh hor fun used to be at Empress Market but then they disappeared. Been trying to look for them ever since. So glad to know where they are now. And the other food also looks so good! Thanks for the video!

Wow amazing, you should go back and tell that first Uncle there is someone in the UK who would just love to come to Singapore just to eat his food alone! This is what I love about all of Asia, so much behind everything and so much history and traditions and we are all brought together by food. Not really anything like this in the UK, even if you found a market say in London its overpriced. Asia is just amazing, the whole area 🥰 I feel so honoured you can all speak English so well (with me being English). I can speak a little Nepali now if that exonerates me?

You like local now , like your video very much , more videos please ❤

wah :) nice.. will go and try it.

Ghib, we love your hawker food videos! take care!!!

Wow! I have never in my life, ever tasted any of the wah kueh or horfan in my life. Don't find these dishes in Malaysia! Good job Ghib Ojisan!

Wow, as a Singaporean I never even try wa Kueh before, shy😂 Will find one day to go there for all these foods u introduced. Thank u .❤

I like the dedication and strive for perfection - something that we come to expect from Japanese

Wiki said Wah Huah is from Taiwan. TBH is looks more like Law bok gow (Chinese Turnip Cake)

Wa keuh appeared in a sitcom long time ago. If I remember correctly is wakueh get pronounced as what kueh.

Probably the one and only place that sells "bowl cake".

@llppg

Ай бұрын

Nope

That lamb soup looks so delish and nourishing!

Wah Kueh is still common in Taiwan. It's a must eat for me whenever i visit Taipei.

It's pronounced chai "tao" kuih. Preserved veg I believe refers to the preserved sweet/salty radish that you can find as topping on chwee kuih and they also add into char tau kuih. Teochew have a style of fried kueh tiao with preserved radish. There's a famous restaurant sells that and they have a zhi char stall at Bedok Reservoir. Soup kambing isn't "rare". Perhaps you haven't tried much Malay and Indian dishes.

Vid just dropped hope it’s a banger🙂

Great content. Sup Kambing is one of my favorite less common food in Singapore.I am suprised that as a japanese person you actually enjoyed it. Not many Singaporeans like mutton that much because of the gamey smell.

Try the Loh Mei stall at People’s Park Food Center. Probably the only stall in Singapore selling it

you should try "Lao Liang Pig Trotter Jelly & Shark Meat" at #02-37 Jalan Berseh, Food Centre

The fusion pork soup is nice. Their egg sausage is delicious

Maxwell market has the Wa Ko Kueh too!! The stall owner is an elderly man and he make those ang ku kuehs himself too!! The bean fillings in the Ang ku kueh are coarse as they are hand grinded, instead of blending in food processors, which most ang ku kush bean fillings are being made these days!

Interesting that a Chinese selling soup Kambing. It looks less oily and more creamy than I'm used to. Not many Indian Muslim stalls sell this too. I've not eaten it since my dad passed on.

Take me to Japan means advertise his stall in Japan, not physically take him to Japan. The dishes look delicious but the portion of the kambing soup from the $1 stall is pathetic.

Smith Street is very well visited. Too many good food there. many already gone with old age.

Another lesser-known food is called Rickshaw noodles. It's traditionally served in a small bowl and costs like $1 back then I remembered it. Used to be sold at Maxwell market. There's also one which is a crispy fried beehoon which is also quite uncommon, but delicious. A lot of old dishes back then were like Pig's blood, Duck Blood, but due to outbreaks, they are no longer sold. I would also say that Traditional Peranakan food is also getting very uncommon in Singapore now, an indonesian chinese. Snacks like "Ding Ding" Candy I think was also recently gone due to COVID-19 in Singapore, where the seller pushes a cart and when someone orders, they use a hammer and chisel to split the candy from a huge pan, making the iconic "ding ding" sound.

I think Taiwan has more woah kueh 碗粿 variety.

Maxwell Food Centre also got sell Wah Kueh. The shop call Ri Xin Snack Delights. The uncle sold there very very long already, the Wah Kueh inside have a lot of ingredients and selling price abt $2 or $2.50. the Ang ku kueh is also big n has a lot of ingredients inside. Do help support the very very old uncle who stayed one whole day there😢.

Just put things in perspective, once this was common fare in Singapore when the hawkers would come by our doorsteps and it was less than 50. cents. Then PAP began housing them in hawker centres and foreign devils think it is a rare dish which is also very common in Msia and even Taiwan.

This Wah Kueh is also available in Bukit Batok at the Chee Cheong Fun stall at Mei De Coffee shop Blk 279 Bt Batok East Ave 3. The gravy enhances the flavour of the kueh and don't forget the chilli sauce/paste. Quite filling and it's yummy!
