Hougang 6 Miles Famous Muah Chee




Muah Chee is a is a local desert/snack made from a glutinous rice paste coated with crushed peanuts. It is very common in Singapore, especially at make-shift pasar malam stalls. Also YiKouWei stalls at shopping malls. The qualities to good muah chee would be soft and not too sticky. 

Hennie's Comment:
"The Muah Chee at Hougang 6 Miles was very yummy!! The peanut and portion was generous, fragrance and smooth texture of the muah chee which will melt in your mouth. And yet it was not too sweet. In fact, I like the fried onion oil, very good and add on very well to it.


One of the popular Muah Chee stalls in Singapore is located at Hougang 6 Miles Famous Muah Chee at the Broadway Coffee Shop. It’s a stall run by one family for many years. They add sesame to the  Muah Chee before dipping it into grinded peanut.


You can choose what portion you want between small, medium and big.

Whereby a small version costs $2.50.
