It looks like the Labubu trend is staying for a while longer. We’ve recently had Labubu blind box cakes, and now, homegrown brand Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh has hopped on the bandwagon with their latest Labubu ang ku kueh!
Â
The popular local brand launched the new Labubu ang ku kueh lineup for Halloween on their TikTok account. The video recently shot to internet fame, garnering almost 70k views at the point of writing. We brought our own Labubu along for comparison and were surprised by how the ang ku kueh was a spitting image of the actual Labubu dolls!Â
You can now shop the new range online at Ji Xiang’s website for a limited time. If you’re buying them in-store, they’re only available at the Bugis outlet. For the full experience, get the Labubu Ang Ku Kueh (Set of 7), priced at $60 per box. Each Labubu ang ku kueh is handmade fresh daily to order, which explains the steep price.
You also get to choose your filling for your kueh: Peanut or Sweet Bean AKA tau sar. For the best of both worlds, go for the mixed option, where half of them are filled with peanut, and the other half with tau sar.
We preferred the Peanut over the Sweet Bean filling, as it had a pleasant mix of sweet and salty flavours, as well as a nice grittiness that added more texture to the otherwise soft and chewy skin.Â
Alternatively, you can buy the ang ku kueh by the piece, if that’s what you prefer. There are seven designs to choose from: Duoduo (dark brown), Dada (pink), Baba (light brown), Sisi (yellow), Ququ (blue), Hehe (grey), and Zizi (purple). Each piece costs $10.
Do note that these Labubu ang ku kueh are only available for a limited time, so act fast before they get taken off the menu! According to a brand representative, the Bugis store has limited quantities available each morning. We recommend pre-ordering them online to avoid disappointment.
