Labubu Fever Hits Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh: A Delicious Twist on Tradition

In a delightful fusion of tradition and pop culture, Singapore's ang ku kueh scene has been taken by storm with the introduction of Labubu-inspired treats. These adorable creations are now available for a limited time, courtesy of the homegrown brand Ji Xiang Kueh

A Monstrous Makeover

Imagine biting into a piece of history with a modern twist. That's exactly what you get with these Labubu ang ku kuehs. The iconic devilish creature, part of Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung's "The Monsters" series, has found its way onto one of Singapore's most beloved traditional snacks.

Artistry in Every Bite

These aren't your average ang ku kuehs. Each piece is a labor of love, taking 15 to 20 minutes to produce. The process is nothing short of mesmerizing:

1. The dough is carefully rolled and shaped to form Labubu's distinctive head.

2. Skilled hands pipe on the creature's impish eyes, razor-sharp teeth, and floppy ears.

3. The kuehs are then steamed to perfection atop banana leaves, infusing them with a subtle, sweet fragrance.

A Rainbow of Flavors

Ji Xiang offers these handmade creations in seven vibrant designs, allowing you to collect a whole set of colorful Labubus. Choose between two classic flavors – peanut and sweet bean – or mix and match for a variety of tastes.

Limited-Time Treat

Here's the catch: these Labubu ang ku kuehs are only available for a short time. At $10 each or $60 for a set of seven, they're not just a snack – they're a collector's item. One enthusiastic customer even ordered 300 at once!

More Than Just a Snack

While these trendy treats are capturing hearts, it's worth remembering the rich history behind ang ku kueh. Originating from China's Fujian province, these "red tortoise cakes" have been symbols of luck, longevity, and cultural significance for centuries.

Don't miss out on this unique blend of tradition and trend. Whether you're a die-hard Labubu fan or simply curious about this cultural phenomenon, these Labubu ang ku kuehs offer a taste of Singapore's ever-evolving food scene. Grab them while you can – they're too cute to resist!
