Singapore, 2 July 2024 – Chewy and tasty, with fond reminiscences of childhood, the vibrant red Ang Ku Kueh holds a special place in many Singaporeans’ hearts. Back then, the traditional snack was made for occasions such as birthdays and celebrations. Today, it is presented in a rainbow of colours with 16 exciting flavours to savour, thanks to the launch of Madam Ang KK by Old Seng Choong.
Ang Ku Kueh, also known as red tortoise cake, is a round-shaped Chinese pastry made with soft, sticky glutinous rice flour skin. Traditionally, its vibrant red skin wraps a filling of mung bean or peanut. The delicate skin features an intricate design resembling a tortoise shell, resting on a piece of banana leaf. Like the tortoise, it is believed by the Chinese to bring longevity, good fortune and prosperity.
Discover a spectrum of flavours delicately glazed with aromatic shallot oil, steamed to perfection to be savoured. Traditional must-have flavours such as Mung Bean and Peanut are complemented by savoury options like XO Scallop, Parma Ham with Shallot Oil, and Braised Meat Mung Bean. For a modern twist, indulge in Hazelnut Praline, Truffle Mushroom, and Pistachio flavours.
On top of ang ku kueh, Madam Ang KK by Old Seng Choong also offers a unique array of soft, warm, and fluffy steamed paus with a variety of flavours. Enjoy the aromatic Gourmet Truffle Char Siew or the chewy Mystic Sesame Mochi with morning coffee or afternoon tea. Madam Ang KK by Old Seng Choong also offers hearty steamed rice dishes for a comforting meal like Granny’s Minced Pork with Salted Fish and Fragrant Chicken Mushroom & Chinese Sausages. Madam Ang KK by Old Seng Choong promises to be the new spot where you can find the options for breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner.
This new venture is the brainchild of Daniel Tay who challenges himself and his team to transcend boundaries, just like Old Seng Choong did. In keeping with his expertise which extends far beyond the kitchen, he is committed to safeguarding the legacy of traditional pastries while infusing them with contemporary flair. Daniel recognises the importance of continuous innovations to captivate generations of pastry lovers, especially younger audiences, by preserving traditional recipes with a surprising twist of modern flavours.
