Nonya Cooking - Nonya Kueh Recipes

Nonya Cooking - Nonya Kueh Recipes or Straits Chinese (cakes) are made from a variety of fulsome and flavourful ingredients such as coconut milk, sweet potatoes, tapioca, palm sugar and pandan leaves.

Presented together, they make up a colourful, pleasing platter, and thus are among the most popular items to be enjoyed during tea time, as a sweet dessert, and as part of the menu at festive occasions.

Traditionally Peranakan girls or Straits Chinese were trained to perfect the art of making kueh — skill in the culinary arts could, along with other skills, lead to happy marriage. Many Nonya or Peranakan still spend time making kueh for their families, as they believe the more effort you put into preparing food for your family, the happier all will be.
