Kim Choo Kueh Chang

I love Kim Choo’s Bak Chang rice dumplings but I’m not here to talk about them today. Instead, I want to share with you my favorite item here — Ang ku kueh! They are small sweet kuehs with a red glutinous outer layer and either bean or peanut fillings inside. It’s quite a secret that Kim Choo makes very good Ang ku kuehs — the best in Singapore IMO! Very thin and soft skin and fillings that are not overly sweet. Remember to come early for some, they make a limited number everyday and sell out quickly.

Being a rather small eater, I can never finish 1 Bak Chang by myself as I find it too much to handle with the glutinous rice and filling. So, I love the mini Chang (dumplings) at Kim Choo so that I am not overwhelmed.
They do have many different type of changs too but usually the hot favorite is the nonya chang. The nonya chang you find here are fully packed with the sweet meat fillings. The mini changs come in a box of 20s. Good snackable size for the rest of the family.
Aside from bak chengs, they also dish out pretty good nonya kuehs and chinese goodies for sale.

In my opinion, simply the best dumplings in Singapore! Plenty of asian cuisine when translated in english uses the term ‘dumpling’ to describe lots of filling that’s wrapped in carbs, so maybe to specify, these are «chang» in chinese dialect.
The dumplings from the original Kim Choo from Joo chiat place are to die for. There isn’t any comparison. They sell a whole list of dumpling variety, each one with different fillings and methods of preparation but my recommendation is to have either the «Salty Chang» or the «Nonya Chang».
These delicious, savoury dumplings are made fresh at the location and is well worth a trip. This is strictly a take away store front so you’ll won’t be able to eat in. (When I make a trip, I make sure I buy a few to make the fuel worthwhile.)
However, if you really would like to have one instantly, the vendor will be more than happy to remove the pandan leaves and put the ‘chang’ in a bag for your instant gratification. I’m guilty of that most times when i make my dumpling stop. Be sure to put your dumplings in the fridge if you plan to store em and they’re best reheated by steaming.
