      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.

    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!

    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.

    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 😊

  • @TheFelz3567

    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!

    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.

    Kuih lopes (Malay version) is actually in green, similar to buah Melaka. It's just in different (triangle) shape and the gula Melaka in the form of syrup.(Buah Melaka has gula Melaka fillings)
