Putu Piring

Labels:
Do you remember the old Singapore Wonderland? I do - particularly the small rollercoaster with the head of a lion in front of it. That coaster, together with Van Kleef aquarium (i.e. National Theatre) was iconic of Singapore in the 70's (for a 6 year old boy at least). I can still remember visiting Wonderland at night. I don't know if it is just because I was a kid, but Singapore nights seem to be cooler then. The best things to eat on a cool night were steaming hot peanuts and Kueh Tutu (Putu Piring).

The Kueh Tutu almost went out of fashion sometime during the 80s but thankfully, like the handmade Paus, Gen X-ers who grew up eating the traditional foods took it upon themselves to re-introduce the old favourites to a new generation.

Putu Piring is essentially the Malay version of Kueh Tutu. According to the friendly uncle at the stall, this dessert has its origins in India. The Malay version uses gula melaka for the filling and is served with grated coconut while the Chinese version (i.e. Kueh Tutu) contains grated coconut or peanut filling and is generally smaller in size


Now this picture really says it all - who can resist the finest grade Gula Melaka (from Malacca of course) oozing out of the kueh when it is piping hot? It is a wonder to behold and certainly not something you want to wait till you get home to eat.
