Wolf Bargain(Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh)
(Staffs hard at work making AKK)
Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh(AKK) has been around for more than 30 years. It was started out by Mr. Toh and wife in Everton Park in 1988. I was introduced to their Kueh Kueh by my ex colleague Vincent. I had been buying their hand made Ang Ku Kueh for more than a decade since then. 10 years ago there was hardly a crowd. AKK then was known to be “old people food” or “food offering for the gods” I can easily get my AKK within minutes but recently the queue had been extending longer and longer due to the explosion of social media and there is a general trend of people going back to traditional food. I was at the Everton Park branch around 9am and the queue is 15 strong. I decide to ditch the plan. They have another outlet at Bugis Village. The queue is relatively shorter at Bugis.
There are many favours to choose from peanuts, coconut, salted bean, sweet bean, yam and sweet corn. There is also rainbow AKK which required pre ordering. Each rainbow AKK cost $3.50. You can have any of the above flavour in rainbow AKK. Personally it is for the instagrammer. It does look stunning in photo but taste is similar. Since I am writing a bargain, I am very much focusing on the basic AKK which sell for $1 each. The fillings are packed solidly. I particularly like the peanuts and salted bean. They stand out from the rest of the flavours. The skin is soft and has a nice chewy texture to it. The peanuts is crunchy and the salted bean has a peppery after taste which is especially seductive to the taste buds . AKK in some way is the Chinese version of the Taiwanese or Japanese Mochi. Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh has to be the Number 1 AKK in Singapore imho, no doubt in my mind. Do go early, AKK get sold out by 12.30pm-1pm. Old traditional food can be trendy and tasty after all.
