Muah Chee Fantasy

I finally tasted the much heralded Muah Chee at Blk 682 in Hougang. After reading so many rave reviews from foodies in various food forums, PT finally went down after work to buy 2 packets. There was a long queue, but the wait was worth it.



Each piece of Muah Chee is a melt-in-your-mouth soft globe of glutinous flour. The peanuts and sugar had been crushed to a fine sand-like texture and generously coated around each muah chee ball. What's more, the Muah Chee is so fragrant, a heady mix for the senses.




Each piece is painstakingly made by the owner. He pulls a small globe of muah chee from a vat, dips it in fried onion oil  (hence the fragrance) and then rolls it in the peanut sugar mixture. Even after the ride home, the muah chee remained soft, almost velvety in texture. For $2 a box, it's a steal. The portion is about double the size one gets at the pasar malam.
  
 

Definitely the best Muah Chee I've ever eaten.
