Traditional Haig Road Putu Piring

The Malay sister to the Chinese kueh tutu, the putu piring ($3/five pieces) from this creatively named stall has differences that we welcome. It’s bigger than kueh tutu and is accompanied by a generous sprinkling of grated coconut. Another difference: the filling. As the pillowy rice cake itself crumbles gently in our mouths, the richness of the viscous gula Melaka within comes to the forefront. Best eaten piping hot.
