从蒸锅取出后,立马刷上粟米油

Personal notes:

IMG_6629– i used coconut oil throughout the recipe and used 45g sugar for the skin
– do flour hands and bench top when attempting to wrap filling and shape into balls. it makes the dough easier to manage
– each of my dough weighs 30g and i steamed them for 7 mins, and kept it inside the steamer for 3 mins before removing them. do cover the steamer lid with a cloth before steaming. i first boiled the water over high heat, and then turned to medium-low during steaming
– if you want to use a chop, allow the kueh to cool and “dry” slightly before applying chop. brush chop with some red liquid (red food colouring mixed with water) then chop lightly. i felt that brushing vs dipping into liquid yielded a nicer stamp effect (and it took me many kuehs before i got a nice stamp (⊙﹏⊙✿))
– i used my newly acquired mould for some of the kueh – if you intend to do this, please ensure you have a “drier” dough for otherwise, everything will stick to the mould

IMG_6630the filling is so yummy… couldn’t stop eating it (;゙°´ω°´)

    Victoria!!!!!!!! This is my favourite kuih (because Im also a hainanese lor…hehehe). I remember years back I used to buy this kuih to eat but one day do not know why after eating, I had food poisoning (probably the coconut filling not fresh). Thereafter I dare not buy any kuih with coconut filling anymore. You still have anymore left for me? Wish I can taste yours.

    这不糕点之前我也做过, 只是不同的版本而已, 你做的很赞!

    hi victoria, i\’m not aware of this traditional kueh and very delighted to know it. The ones you made with the mould look very pretty!

  • Hi Victoria,
    Are you Hainanese? I am half Hainanese and I think I know what this kueh is, haha. It is usually squarish and placed on a banana leaf. I don\’t quite like the taste, I can\’t pin down what ingredient it is that gives it a tangy taste which i don\’t like, but now I know what it is, it is ginger 🙂

    But I like the way you made them. Thumbs up for a lovely twist to the traditional hainanese kueh !

  • Hi Victoria,

  • sally says:

    前几天我还在想念这个海南粿,今天就在你家看到了,我要吃
    我很喜欢里面带有姜的味道,很好吃呢。。

  • Hi Victoria,
    I have never seen or heard of this kuih before. My hubby is a Hainanese, but I doubt he knows much about kuehs!!! Looks good though, and I like most kuehs with coconut filling…pass one over please!
