Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun stall. Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun RM 5 in Restaurant New Lucky, Seri Petaling. I wanna try this.

Put in the list first. muhahaha. According to Mrs Gan, not all rice is equal, which in turn affects the quality of flour produced from it. Understanding the ratio between water and rice flour is essential to making good chee cheong fun.

Fried Oysters Omelette, Bunga Raya Food Court. Melaka Food.

The Malaccan-style oyster omelet is a combination of rice flour batter, eggs and oysters, fried in a flat wok over very high heat. It has a drier texture with lost of coriander leaves for garnishing.

Kueh Lapis Cushion Cover. A type of steamed multi-coloured Nyonya kueh that's known as 9-layers cake.

It is made of glutinous rice flour, coconut and sugar. We love to peel them off layer by layer and eat it!

Our last stop before leaving Melaka is at this famous putu piring stall at Jalan Tengkera. I wouldn't miss it for nothing after reading all the rave reviews about this putu piring. It's a long time coming but not as long as Nadeje's mille crepe. Hehe What's a putu piring?

It's a steamed rice flour cake with gula melaka filling in the shape of a plate (piring). The putu piring is usually placed on a banana leaf with lightly salted young grated coconut between them. As soon as the aunty saw my mom and me coming towards them, she fired up the steamer to reheat the putu piring. There were no queue or other customer – one of the pro of visiting Melaka on a working day.

Chwee Kway (水粿 lit. Water Rice Cake). Another breakfast dish seen regularly in Singapore and Johor, most stalls only open in the morning and close by lunch.

Rice flour and water are mixed together to form the rice cake, then put into little saucers and steamed to produce the typical Chwee Kway bowl-like shape. It is topped with chai poh (preserved radish) and chilli. Chwee kway is a dying trade that the young generation does not want to carry on, so try it before its gone forever.

TuTu Kueh Cushion. Tutu kueh is a traditional Singapore delicacy made of steamed rice flour filled with either grated coconut or ground peanuts.
