Every Singaporean has their favourite kueh, whether it’s the starchy peanut-stuffed tutu kueh, a sweet-salty mix of sambal udang, or a full-blown soon kueh delightfully stuffed with vegetables and savoury sauce.

Hungry and craving for a sweet feast now? You’re in luck – a giant kueh festival is coming soon.

On 24 Jul, ToTT Store will be home to an array of delicious, savoury and sweet kueh sold by local kueh artisans spanning different ethnic groups. These include HarriAnns (Peranakan), Kuehs and Snacks (Teochew), Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (Hokkien), Hainan Xiao Chi (Hainanese) and Antoinette chef Pang Kok Keong’s Hakka Snacks (Hakka).

You’ll also get to feast on some rare kueh that will be specially prepared for the event, such as Hakka Vegetable Kueh by Chef Pang and the Larp, a unique Hainanese rice dumping by the Singapore Hainan Hwee Kuan.

Entry is free to the general event and market to purchase kueh from featured artisans and lifestyle merchandise stores.
