IT IS not easy to find ang ku kueh or red-tortoise cake with skin that stays soft overnight.
This steamed glutinous rice flour kueh filled with green bean or peanut is best eaten soon after it’s made because the thin, stretchy skin turns stiff if you keep it for more than a day.
But Mr Ronnie Yeo, 53, who helps run the family-owned Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh at Hougang Avenue 3, confidently told me that the stall’s ang ku kueh stay tender for 24 hours.
True enough, they were still as good. The skin, which is not too thick, does not stick to the teeth, one of the attributes of a good ang ku kueh.So I kept a couple aside and tried them the next morning.
One of the secrets to the soft skin, Mr Yeo says, is that corn oil is mixed into the dough. Although no coconut milk is used, the kueh is fragrant.
His family also uses glutinous rice flour and pounded glutinous rice to make the chewy skin.
FAMILY RECIPE: Ronnie Yeo, who runs Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh, says corn oil helps his ang ku kueh to stay tender overnight.






The recipe comes from his mother, Madam Tan Lee Keow, 80, who learnt to make it from her China-born mother-in-law.
Madam Tan started taking orders for the kueh about 30 years ago from friends and relatives who liked what she made.
To cope with the growing demand, she rented a factory in Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1 to make the kueh, and then moved to a shop in Hougang about four years ago. The spritely woman leaves the running of the business to her children but she still helps out at the shop.
Her kueh comes in five flavours: green bean, peanut, salted bean, durian and coffee, and these are priced at 35 cents and 60 cents each. They are also packed in boxes of five and 10.
I like the salty bean filling wrapped in a black sesame skin best.
As you bite into it, you first taste the slight saltiness, then the sweetness of the smooth green bean filling and you appreciate how well the contrast works.
The skin is made from black sesame seeds which are skilfully fried till fragrant and then ground, before being worked into the glutinous rice flour.
I also like the traditional ang ku kueh, which comes with a smooth green bean filling.
Another must-try is the Teochew png kueh (glutinous rice kueh), packed with diced mushrooms, dried shrimps and roasted peanuts.
Good-quality dried shrimps give this kueh oomph, and lends the rice a natural sweetness. The kueh also come in boxes of five and 10 but you can get individual pieces at 35 cents and 60 cents each.

"Schindler's List" - Do we have the courage to be the next Schindler? 我们有勇气与胆识成为下一个辛德勒吗?

 Let's watch a short review of the 1993 Oscar wining film "Schindler's List" directed by Steven Speilberg -

In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis.

《辛德勒的名单》拿下了第66届奥斯卡金像奖〝最佳影片〞等七个大奖。美国电影学院AFI百年百大电影榜中,把《辛德勒的名单》列为第八名,也是前十名中,唯一一部入选的90年代电影。它的影响力有多深远呢?直到今天,人们只要一提到纳粹屠杀犹太人的历史,就会联想到《辛德勒的名单》。

今天的〝看电影〞,我们选择这部老片子《辛德勒的名单》,介绍给大家。

《辛德勒的名单》,带给人们无限的反思与自省,是什么样的力量,让一个投机商人,愿意掏光毕生积蓄,也要救人一命。600万个生命,辛德勒倾尽所有,也只救回了1100条人命。二战结束后,国际誓言,绝不再让这样的悲剧重演。

或许有一天,我们都可能会面对这般残酷的现实,在利益和道义之间作出抉择,到那个时候,我们有勇气与胆识成为下一个辛德勒吗?

"Schindler's List" - Schindler exhausted all his savings but only managed to save 1100 lives.

After the end of World War II, the international vowed never to let such a tragedy happen again.

Perhaps one day, we might face such a harsh reality, to make a choice between the interests and moral.

At that time, do we have the courage to be the next Schindler?

宋承宪 Song Seung Heon "Dr Jin" Singapore Promo Tour 2013

Song Seung Heon Dr Jin Press conference 1 March 2013

Song Seung Heon at his Dr. Jin press conference in Singapore
Thoughtful and sincere in conversation, Korean actor Song Seung Heon is what we'd call a man with a good head on his shoulders. 

Despite being one of the hottest Hallyu commodities around, Seung Heon does not try hard to upkeep with the image of a pristine and perfect man coiffed for Hallyu icons.

 He acknowledges his flaws and knows his shortcomings, and that, perhaps, is the reason why he feels more endearing in person than on TV.

While most actors, singers and idols strive to become multi-hyphenates and excel in all aspects of showbiz today, Seung Heon's steering clear of the singer route.

"Many have suggested this [doing a music album after singing for Dr. Jin] to me - but I don't sing well," he wryly mused. "This was all made possible with the advanced technology which helped with the audio sound (chuckles). I'm not very confident with my vocals."

Indeed. More popularly known for his melodramatic roles than for his voice, the 36-year-old catapulted to instant - and global - fame with the tearjerker seriesAutumn in My Heart. The woeful and self-sacrificial role left such an indelible impression in viewers' hearts that he has been affixed with the Mr. Nice Guy label ever since.

Professing his desire to play "killer and psycho" roles in future at the press conference for Dr. Jin, Seung Heon's attempts to flesh out his different sides on screen can be seen with his recent projects: 2011's rom-com vehicle, My Princess and a time-travelling gig in 2012's period drama, Dr. Jin.

When we raised the possibility of traveling back in time to return to his 21-year-old self, Seung Heon shared that he would like to "fully experience student life" again. "I didn't get a chance to try out activities like going on group dates or playing with my friends due to my early start in acting during University."

Though he laments at the lack of such memories and sometimes fantasises about pursuing a professional career in sports - soccer and golf, he says - Seung Heon will never trade his acting job for anything else in the world.

'Forward thinker' is how this 36-year-old prefers to describe himself, during our interview at ME@OUE, a new posh eatery in town. 'I'm not one who regrets and I'm satisfied with my achievements right now. While Dr. Jin is a time-travelling vehicle that tends to trigger a lot of what-if questions if we return into time, I'm a sort of person who prefers to look towards the future instead.'

Citing melodrama as his preferred drama genre, Seung Heon's latest venture When a Man Loves co-starring up-and-coming actress Shin Se Kyung, Yeon Woo Jin and Chae Jung An will put him back in his comfort zone.

With his well-maintained dreamboat good looks, Seung Heon has been romancing younger actresses on TV these days: Park Min Young (27 years old) in Dr. Jin and Se Kyung (23 years old) in When a Man Loves. The actor concedes to feeling the heat and need to maintain his body and looks in order to match up to these younger starlets but reasons that it's a 'good form of pressure' for him.

So do any of his co-actresses fit the bill of his ideal partner?

'If I really had to choose it'd be Song Hye Gyo and Kim Tae Hee, but I don't have any special feelings towards them,' shared the currently-single bachelor who also called 'inner beauty' the most important criteria on his list.

'There's no particular type of girl that catches my attention. I may have focused more on looks when I was under 30 but now the focus is on inner beauty,' he shared. 'My seniors and friends have also agreed with me and told me that it's most important to find someone who can really click with me.'

WATCH: Song Seung Heon dishes on his ideal girlfriend!



Do remember to watch Dr Jin, starting from April 1 on Channel U, 10pm!
