- Join award-winning cookbook author Christopher Tan as he investigates the mysterious origins of kueh pie tee and its connection to American cuisine, while making the snack from a recipe in Susie Hing’s 1956 cookbook.
Using both local moulds and American “patty irons” dating back to the 1950s-70s, Christopher shows us the different shell shapes that can be made, and how the fillings have changed over time-from cream or milk-based sauces in the Western version to those inspired by the local popiah.
