Local gourmands and celebrity chefs have raved about the Teochew-style soon kueh sold at One Kueh At A Time. Each hand-stuffed kueh is wrapped in a delicate, silky rice flour skin. Purists can opt for the Classic ($9.60 for six pieces) soon kueh, filled with juicy shreds of radish. Meanwhile, the more adventurous can consider contemporary flavours such as the smoky Bak Kwa ($15 for six pieces) and punchy Haebi Hiam ($15 for six pieces). You can even purchase the frozen versions, if you’d like to enjoy them freshly steamed at home.Â
2. Ji Xiang Confectionery

To order, simply contact them at 9888 8500 or 9270 0510.

Though they’ve had many years of kueh-making experience under their belt, Yoon’s Traditional Teochew Kueh only kicked off their online business in 2016. Despite being sold on an online platform, the Teochew kueh made by the owner, Qara Yoon, and her mother are definitely rooted in their traditions.Â
They sell over eight types of kueh including fan-favourite Png Kueh ($20 for 10 pieces), and a rare Cikak Kueh Dainty ($20 for 10 pieces), essentially a Teochew version of ang ku kueh. If you’d like a mix of everything, get the Yoon’s Assortment Box ($18) which has a selection of six kueh flavours. Delivery is charged at a flat fee of $5, though availability of delivery dates vary for different zones in the country.
