My aunty Karen requests that I make some Teo chew Ku Tao kueh for her. Personally I do not like Ku Tao kueh cos I have yet to taste a good tao kueh. The ones sold in the market are always hard and chewy. Since my aunty requested for it, I decide to experiment to create a more softer and less chewy Tao Kueh and yet still retain the characteristic of the kueh.
This is my second experiment in making a softer Tao Kueh. This time, I fine tune the water, flour and starch ratio to create a thinner skin and softer kueh. I think I get it right this time, the kueh is now soft and less chewy with a melt in your mouth texture. When I presented the kueh to my church cell group members, everyone went cracy and requested that I made some more for them.
