Michelin-listed chwee kueh stall at Ghim Moh Market serving steamed rice cakes with preserved radish and chilli.
Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh at Ghim Moh Market and Food Centre is a Michelin Plate-recognised stall that has elevated the humble chwee kueh into a celebrated hawker dish. Chwee kueh, or steamed rice cakes, are a traditional Teochew breakfast item consisting of soft, slightly bouncy rice flour cakes topped with preserved radish and chilli, and Ghim Moh's rendition has become the benchmark by which others are judged. The stall prepares its chwee kueh with a delicate, smooth texture that melts on the tongue, while the preserved radish topping is meticulously fried with oil and seasonings until fragrant, crispy, and deeply savoury. The accompanying chilli sauce adds a punchy heat that ties the components together beautifully. The Michelin recognition has brought national attention to what was once a neighbourhood secret, yet the stall has maintained its quality and modest pricing. For anyone seeking the definitive chwee kueh experience in Singapore, a visit to this Ghim Moh stalwart is essential — it is a masterclass in how simple ingredients, prepared with skill and care, can achieve extraordinary results.Based on 222 Google reviews

Overated. 4 piece for $2.80. Luckily only bought 2 packets of the minimum amount. Tasteless chai por. Very stingy with chai por and chilli. Ate 2 piece and threw away the other other 2. Think its the worst chwee kueh i ever bought and ate.

The Chwee kueh is home made and good texture with tasty chai poh and sambal! Wouldn’t say the best I’ve tasted but a lot better than others. 😋 (See attached for price list) …

Chwee kueh is bouncy and denser than the usual. It’s not tender like Jian Bo Chwee Kueh but still nice. However I was shocked when I saw how little Cai Poh they gave. Isn’t that supposed to be the star of the dish? If they were less stingy with the cai poh, I would have given another star.

There are a few handmade Chwee Kway brands across Singapore, but this remains my favourite stall to date. The kueh here has a pronounced rice aroma and a silky texture. …
