When it comes to shui kueh in Singapore, the first place that comes to mind is Jian Bo Shui Kueh. The brand was founded by Mr Wang in 1958, who arrived in Singapore from a Teochew province in China. Here, he made a living by selling shui kueh from a pushcart at Tiong Bahru Market. In the mid-1990s, husband and wife duo Mr Ang Kien Huat and Mdm Toh Lai Hueh were invited to help out with the business. Following the footsteps of Mr Wang, Mr Ang would wake up at 6 am daily to prepare the ingredients needed for the food while Mdm Toh was in charge of operations. They were soon joined by their son, Eric Ang, who naturally fell in love with the traditional local snack from a young age. After his national service, he started helping his parents with the store and also broadened the brand’s product offering by introducing an entire range of complementary local food. In hopes of making their shui kueh healthier, Jian Bo Shui Kueh also has switched to more healthy ingredient alternatives like 100% vegetable oil as well.

Signature

Shui Kueh

While the Tiong Bahru outlet is a Michelin recommended stall on the Singapore Michelin Guide, This stall at Jurong West 505 Market & Food Centre was awarded with the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2021. Prices are the same across the board and here, you can get five plump shui kueh for just $2.50 and it is served to you on a brown grease-proof paper. The rice cake portion of the shui kueh are extremely soft and pillowy and when bitten into, they melt away in your mouth. The rice cakes also come topped with chye poh — also known as radish — and this was savoury with a good, addictive crunch. I also love the chilli which is smeared all over the top of the chwee kueh.
