Old-school chwee kueh with fragrant chai poh and crispy fried carrot cake sticks at Redhill.

Chwee Kueh Lao 水粿佬 is a heritage hawker stall at Redhill Food Centre specialising in chwee kueh—soft, steamed rice cakes topped with savoury-sweet chai poh (preserved radish). It's the kind of old-school Teochew snack that has nourished generations of Singaporeans, and this stall does it with quiet pride and consistency.

The classic chwee kueh is sold in sets starting from just a few dollars, each cake glistening with fragrant chai poh and an optional kick of sambal on the side. The stall also offers a crowd-favourite Deep Fried Carrot Cake Stick—crispy on the outside, moist within—sold at 13 pieces for $2.00 or five for $1.00. It's an incredibly affordable snack that pairs perfectly with a cup of kopi.

Drop by Chwee Kueh Lao at Redhill Food Centre for a taste of tradition that won't break the bank. Check MakanSouth for opening hours and more neighbourhood eats.
