Kim Choo Kueh Chang @ Singapore

My aunty from Singapore bought back some Nyonya chang or Glutinous rice dumplings from Kim Choo for us. It was a very small and mini in size but very nice to eat. The glutinous rice dumplings was wrapped with fragrant pandan leaves with minced pork, wintermelon cubes and Nonya spices. The taste was very unique and is was different from the Chinese dumplings which we usually eat.

Traditionally, Nonya cuisine is a fusion of Chinese and Malay influences and quite often draws inspiration from both its techniques and use of key ingredients and spices. The Kim Choo Nonya Dumpling is no exception to this rule and is one of many unique culinary delights interpreted from a time- honored Chinese cuisine.
Here are a few distinctive ways to tell the two apart. For instance, the Nonya-interpretation uses fragrant pandan leaves to wrap the dumpling instead of bamboo sections.
And while Chinese dumplings are filled with fatty pork fillings, Kim Choo Nonya dumplings usually contain seasoned minced pork and sliced winter melon cubes with five spice powder (cinnamon, star anise, fennel, cumin and coriander seeds) and a secretly-concocted ingredient developed from Straits spiced, the dumplings bring a plethora of flavors to please even the toughest of skeptics.
