Chwee kueh (Chinese: 粿; pinyin: shuǐguǒ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: chúi-kóe; lit. 'water rice cake'), also spelt chwee kweh, is a type of steamed rice cake originating in Teochew cuisine that is served with preserved radish.[2]

Even though it has Teochew roots, the version of Chwee Kueh that we love today, with its sweet-savoury topping of chye poh (preserved radish), is a distinctly Singaporean breakfast dish.
