A Kueh or two...

The word 'Kueh' or 'Kue' isn't a word that can be found in a normal English Dictionary because it was't a English word in the first place. The meaning of the word 'Kue' in Bahasa Indonesia means cake. But what is so special about these cakes? Though I don't have a sweet tooth, these 'Kueh' were simply irresistible. :P

Us usual let us start with the photos of the good stuff first.

These are some of the stuff that the shop is selling and let us take a closer look.

They were pretty generous with the ingredients used in these coconut and egg tarts.
I took a bite on a coconut tart and it was so good and sweet. Yummy Yummy.

Tapioca 'Kueh' something that you cannot find in normal pastry store. :D

If you have Google the names shown in the photo itself, you probably would have
realise that most of these 'Kueh' had coconut in it. That was used to
add a sweet taste to the 'Kueh' and at the same time made them irresistible.

This is one of my favourites. It's known as 'Kueh Dar Dar'. But I had to
control myself and limit myself with 1 piece per day due to the amount of
coconut that was stuffed inside it.

This shop also sell pastries like Cream Puffs and Donuts.

They also sell 'Kueh' that comes in a box for a group of people to share.

Just look at the color of the Kaya, doesn't it look appealing to you?

They also sell cookies like, Pineapple tart, Almond Green Tea Cookies,
Cherry Cookies, Chocolate Almond Cookies, Cornflake Raisins Cookies, etc...
Some of the combinations looks interesing, don't you think so?

They had set-up a corner for some other pastries. But do not expect too much
from this corner as I personally feel that most of their hard work goes into
the 'Kueh' than the pastries.

Although they sell cakes also, but these cakes were uniquely different from the
common Pasty store in Singapore

Some other 'Kuehs' that they are selling in the store. But mark my words,
some of the items were already sold out by Lunch hour.

The name of the store would be 'Galicier'. It was located near the main
branch of Tiong Bahru Bao and Tiong Bahru Market.

Even though in Singapore we had shops like Bengawan Solo that specializing in selling various kinds of 'Kueh', cookies, etc. But, in comparison, I personally still prefer the 'Kuehs' at Galicier as it is much cheaper, much tastier and much bigger in size. Probably this is due to the fact that I used to work around that area and I will pop by the shop whenever I have the time during Lunch hours or on my way walking back home. :P
