My Hometown Culinary Trip part 3

Ready for tonight's topic? Sit back and relax. Because I would like to tell you one of my favorite snacks in Pontianak, chai kue.

Chai kue (in my mother tongue, it is called "choi pan") is Chinese snack which its skin is made from a mixture of rice flour and tapioca. Its contents are various, there are yam, beans, chives (kuchai) and taro. Chai kue can be cooked by steaming or frying. Steamed chai kue usually has semicircular shape and fried chai kue has circle shape. It usually served with fried garlic and eaten with soy chilly sauce.

Nah, at this time, I am going to talk about Chaikue Siam A-Hin. Please watch my video with my friend at this food stall first.

For more details, lets see some pictures below this :

Tau Swan is made from green beans that have been ground first then it soaked into the water a few hours. Later it is washed and lost upon the skin, then steamed and cooked. Tau Swan is also usually mixed with “ca kue” which made from fried wheat flour, so it feels more savory and delicious. Tau Swan is usually liked by young people and adults especially during the wet season whom seek a warm and sweet foods. Are you curious with the taste? Go immediately to the stand on Gajahmada street.
