Bedok Chwee Kueh: Simple, Comfort Food
Every wondered why Chwee Kueh is called Chwee Kueh? I have, and I don't have the answer for you. Chwee Kueh literally means Water Cakes. Perhaps they have a high proportion of water in the mix? Maybe some of our readers can enlighten us.
Anyone who frequents Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre will know about this famous Chwee Kueh Stall. OK, I am not a big fan of Chwee Kueh, so for me this one is pretty good. In fact, I don't really know how much better Chwee Kueh can get.
The texture of the Kueh is very smooth and the Chye Poh (Preserved Veg) is savoury and yummy. That is all I can say about the Chwee Kueh. Rave about it? Not really. Crave? Nope. But should you happen to take a bite of your friend's pack of Chwee Kueh, I'll bet you won't just stop at one. 4/5

Oh .... I LOVE THIS CHWEE KUEH! And I MUST eat it almost everytime I see it!(even though I know it's super unhealthy because of the oil.)
What I like is the Chye Poh which is finely chopped unlike the usual big ones we get in most other chwee keuh stalls... the texture of the chwee kueh is just nice ... smooth and not too "cake-ky" (not sure whether got such a word)
Actually, they have many branches... such as at Hougang Ave 1 market, Changi Village Hawker etc...
This is my fav too... i just had it last week, take away, for lunch.. another one that seems to be popular is the tiong bahru one.. but i still prefer this.
its either for me...but I prefer the Tiong Bahru chilli : )
ic .. tiong bahru has got nicer chilli? ..i;m not a chilli person, the usual thing i say when ordering food is "mai hiam" haha..
the pek kio big bowl chwee kuey is good too! :)
Not too keen eating chwee kuey. However Bedok, Tiong Bahru and the Pek kio are of good standard. The last I had chwee kuey was at Marine Parade. Pretty good, came piping hot with generious chai por and chilli.
remember to check out the lamb soup beside that chwee kuey stall also. I find it nice =)
may I know what oil do they use to fry the preserved radish please? Thanks!
Sorry, I didn't ask
had you tried boon lay hawker's chwee kueh before? its self made and i find it nice maybe you should try it then u compare with all the chwee kueh u ate before
anonymous..at which stall is the boon lay hawker ctr? opening hrs?
personally, i find Jian Bo Chwee Kuey at Tiong Bahru Market the best..the chilli and chai poh is super..
there's another one called "Tiong Bahru Jian Bo Chwee Kuey" which i heard is the 'imposter'..nvr tried that so cant comment..
orange clouds... yes .. the lamb soup there is good!! ..
Leslie, I actually crave, rave, dream and drool about this chwee kuey!

the boon lay hawker one the stall name is called 潮泉 (yellow color banner) they sell alot of kueh but the chwee kueh ,cai po and chilli are made by them, their chee xiong fan also not bad but i dont knw is it made by them, i think they are the only stall selling chwee kueh now last time got the thiong baru jian po chwee kueh but close down liao so you know who is the winner
oh ya the boon lay one only open till 9am+ then close shop
thanks anonymous...since it closes so early..i need to go on weekends early early to get..to make it easier for me to find..which side of the hawker ctr is it at? TIA!
there's one stall @ 85 market too, that stall ain't too bad as well. been eating from that stall for about 10 yrs.
the boon lay hawker one is in between a drink stall and a stall selling vege rice(the big red banner tian tian xiang) very easy to find one its
the only stall selling kuay the stall name as i mention in the previous comment
this is my favourite chwee kueh! there is another stall behind facing the car park, but once i tried this, i never bothered to try the other one. :P
Ooooooooooooooo missing the chwee kwee big time too.
Couldn't resist had eight pcs last eight days ago lolololololo
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh feeling belly hungry thinking about it leh
Bear bear need to start thinking of dieting to lose those extra kg when you came to Singapore!!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Alamak,kenna caught red handed liao :))
Kum sia for the advice.
HungryBear,
Never mind, you got natural sauna at DOHA everyday. Can lose weight very fast. 'Jiak se hock". Enjoy eating while you can but in moderation.
Actually I find the chye poh too dry for my taste. I like mine with a little crunchness. There use to be a stall in Pasir ris selling just like that but it was closed down due to the coffeeshop closure.
try the chwee kueh at the marine parade central HC. sorry,again no number, but u can't miss it. its right at the corner facing Sam's Pet Shop.
a few stalls away from the President's teh tarik stall.
When I want to eat Chwee Kuay...Will pop over to bedok for my dosage of Chwee Kuay...
Love their chai poh and the chilli... I can easily gobble down 15 at one go..... Heavenly........
next to rojak, that is like totally my favourite singaporean snack...awesome foodshot. it's making me miss a lot of things right now and wishing i weren't such a food-obsessed chick.

Love this Chwee Kuay......my wife will always packed about 20 pieces of Chwee Kway for me and our family of three can wallop the whole packet in 5 mins....the chai poh is heavenly.....
Try the stall at Bedok North Ave 4 Blk 85 hawker centre. The testure is better. The chilli so so only.

Unfortunately I ate everything in one sitting :))
Now missing chwee kweh, yet again:((
I've always loved chwee kuey but i would like to relate an incident that happened to me just 2 hrs ago..
I bought $2 (8pcs) of chwee kuey at one of the "bedok chwee kuey" branches located at smith street, chinatown complex level 2.
I asked for extra chilli in which the auntie scooped me another half spoon of chilli. Upon seeing that was not enough for me, I took another spoon of chilli myself while informing them.
However, that brought me lectures from the auntie serving me and even from the auntie who was scooping the kueys from inside...All that for a mere spoon of chilli!!
I walked off with the thought that is that the way to do business??
However, I got even a bigger shock when i opened my packet of chwee kuey at home. I only got 7 pcs of chwee kuey!! (1 short of the original 8 pcs that i was supposed to get)
I guess this is definitely not the way to do business..if they are not satisfied with the extra chilli that i took, they could ask mi for extra $, and not shortchanged me.
This is terrible, I will definitely go and eat at that stall again..
Vi,This is terrible,and you will definitely go and eat at that stall again.???
