Ubi Kayu Kueh

Ubi Kayu Kueh

Recipe by Trish yee
Ubi Kayu is a traditional Nonya kueh that is made using grated tapioca, coconut cream and eggs as the base. It looked like a steamed kueh but it is cooked using an oven. It is extremely laborious as you need to hand grate the tapioca. It is a great part dessert snack to impress your guests!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
