Kueh
· True blue peranakan did not believe in shortcuts ( when making Kueh )
· Age-old traditional methods had to be strictly adhered to otherwise result would be totally unacceptable
· Cake and desserts served different functions
· The importance of cakes and desserts to the Peranakan was one of the main reasons why the skill in making them was highly prized in the community. A young girl with a talent for making the best cakes and desserts was usually considered a prime marriage candidate for a young Baba during the period prior of the world war 2 when almost all marriages within the peranakan community was arranged.
