- The hawker culture of Singapore is one that many of us hold dear. As much as we love our Char Kway Teow and Nasi Padang, there are certain under-the-radar dishes that most don’t even know about, but are deserving of our appreciation.
In this series, we set out to discover these traditional dishes and shine light on dishes in Singapore that are slowly being phased out, to urge Singaporeans to rediscover these forgotten gems!

What are other traditional dishes do you think we should try?
Tutu kueh
glutonous rice that we used to have for full-month baby boy celebration. note, only boys, not girls. so from the food, u know whether its baby boy or girl.... hokkien sounds like zoot bee berng
Go try kap zhong/kap chung. I got a feeling a lot don't know this too. Only a handful? of stalls that sells ham chim peng has it. Can seen it often in Malaysia. Exterior is like ham chim peng, center has glutinous rice.
Jumput jumput pisang and jumput jumput ikan bilis, Idiyapam, Kueh kosui, Kueh cincin, Badak berendam, Pulut Hitam^^!
Have you tried putu piring (I like the ones at east village) or mi koo (idk if it’s sold in Singapore but it’s quite popular in some parts of Malaysia)
Dear Eatbook, THANK YOU SO MUCH for starting this new series ! As a (relatively) young person, I find that many of my friends do not share the enthusiasm I have for local/more "old school" snacks like kueh kueh. I'm really happy that Eatbook is putting in effort to shine a spotlight on our local food heritage:) Looking forward to the next video in this series!
Any content by Chiara just watch, great hosting as usual and love this new series, please do more of this! :) 👍🏻
Whoever marry her is a lucky man 💍
Totally agree💯🙋🏻♀️

Chiara: "So how do you eat this?"
Maria: "You can just take it and just put in your mouth?"
Hahahaha xD
At first when i saw Chiara eat the kueh lopez i was stressed out cos THAT IS NOT ENOUGH GULA MELAKA SAUCE.
But when the 2 girls tried it I WAS HAPPY THAT U HAD A WHOLE TUPPERWARE OF IT
😂
Amazed by how much Chiara keeps growing as a host! She leads the convos really well 😁
I love Chiara's hosting this episode.. The way she talks about the food and how it brings people closer together~ Very meaningful series, Eatbook! Keep it up!
There’s one last kacang puteh seller around peace Centre, not sure if that is tradition enough to be featured
You guys should go to Mr Bready at Mei Ling Food Centre to try their huat kuehs! Traditional and really good!
Shout out to all the women that make Singapore's food scene so awesome and tasteful
i am literally chiara's biggest fan pls can organise meet and greet
i second this! i feel like you can have a very comfortable conversation with her

Here is a history on why Kueh Lopez is called Kueh Lopez. The Portuguese, having Sur Names like Lopez, Lopes, Fernandez, Pereira etc were the ones who actually sort of invented this particular delicacy. The Portuguese had no name for this delicacy so the locals (Malays) would call it Kueh Lopez (Lopes) referring to the delicacy made by the Eurasians! Very surprised that the owner of the Kueh outlet in Tanjong Pagar does not know the History of the kueh she is selling when questioned by the show host! This is the reason why people think this is a Malay dish rather than a Portuguese Eurasian dish! Correct me if l am wrong! Hope the show Host will go the extra mile to do a bit more research and prove my point! Thank you! Not meant to offend anyone just trying to get the right facts across!
been patronising the oyster cake stall for years! (or rather my dad always buys it back for me heh) still good and I'm craving for it now 🤤
Thank you for making these series. I think it's really important for us (the younger generation) to learn about our traditional foods and keep them going!
Can't wait to try the oyster and prawn dumplings when I come this week
Finally a new series from eatbook! Been looking for more traditional snacks around Singapore, thank you eatbook
neigboring countries like mine in Indonesia have similar versions, which is nice to know where to bring the older gens while in Singapore haha
In indonesia, we also use serundeng in fried chicken and beef. And kueh lopez is called kue lupis (re: loopiss).
The original name is LOPIS, which means glutinous rice, a smaller version of the GIANT LOPIS, a tradition held every 8th of Syawal in central java Indonesia and has been going on for more than a century, since 1855. The recent Giant Lopis held on 9 May 2022. Giant Lopis contains a philosophical value about unity and integrity. They believe that the Giant Lopis slices will bring blessings. Eat more Lopis, YO 😊
Bro i love traditional snacks so so so so much i rly love to explore places where they sell these type of food so tysm guys for producing this awesome series love it
Love meat puff been buying since secondary school 😂
Try packaging using cardboard, reduce the use of plastic
In Indonesia, Kueh Lopez is called Kue Lupis, an Indonesian (especially java) traditional sweet cake, it's quite popular in indonesia.
Love this series! The oyster cake look damn good sia
Wow this is gonna be my new fave series!
😋

😸
Thankful for the wonderful intro too!!
😺
Hahaha.. Uncle Maverick.
Thank you Chiara for. a fantastic show/presentation. Love your Happy lovely nature. Please don't stop. I'm Eastern European(love S'porean food) & my husband is Hainanese S'porean...Perth, W'A.
Chiara and Mandon should host a mandarin series together.
I know of kueh lopes when I first started working as my Malay colleague introduced it to me. However it's not to my taste as it's just sugar and glutinous rice same reason I don't like kee chang as it's just rice with with alkaline? Other traditional snacks like what ear biscuits? And gai zai beng (chicken biscuits) but u can hardly find nice ones in SG already. More easily seen in Malaysia. These are all snacks my parents intro them to me as a kid.
Cutesttttt💜
i love this, more pls, i love food
FooChow Oyster cake is to die for. Only 4-5 stalls in SG still making. Support old-school snacks, it's tasty and also heritage food.
I want to eat this!!!
Serunding is actually very common. It is a topping for Lontong. Most families make Lontong during Hari Raya. Honestly with or without the serunding, it doesn't make a difference.
The god tier for serunding pairing though is Serunding with Lemang, glutinous riced slow cooked in bamboo over wood fire.
STEPHANIE'S TOP IS SO NICE! AHAHA ok random sorry (idk how ur name is exactly spelled HAHA)
Wow wow wow I want Chiara
Meaningful introduction. Any Indian stall snacks?
I always thought kueh lopes was very common because I ate it quite often when I was a kid haha
Chiara, serunding is also the garnishing that you usually find on lontong as well.
I like the oyster cake located at woodlands industrial park. More meat more shiok but that place is so far away
Yes teochew meat puff!

You can actually found pulut serunding and lopez (lupis) at any random malay stall. I usually bought it at bus interchange malay snack stall.
Chiara, at Kueh Ho Jiak it is Kuih Lupis. Not Kuih Lopez lol. Originally Javanese, Indonesian kueh id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupis_(makanan)
