With places abound selling kuih – or some prefer to call it kueh, whichever your spelling preference for these bite-sized Southeast Asian desserts – you’re bound to have a lot of choices!
Here we have selected a few shops of kuihs that you might want to try if it isn’t already your go-to for your favourite local sweets (or savoury):
1. Afira
Afira has quite the range in their menu from kuih bom, gatas to nona manis. Can’t decide on just one? They also sell by mix box!

2. Dho Kitchenette
Not a fan of sweet kuihs? There are also the savoury ones like the begedils that Dho Kitchenette sells.

5. Icy Lucky Hoof
Tapak Kuda is more cake than it is kuih but it has definitely won hearts over the past few years. Icy Lucky Hoof offers them among other cakes and opens order when it’s hari raya season or the lunar new year.
