Also commonly referred to as “p’ng (rice) kueh” or “Teochew ang (red) kueh“, the Teochew peach-shaped kueh is traditionally known as “红桃粿”, pronounced as “ang toh kway” in Teochew (a dialect of Chinese) which means “red peach cake/dumpling”. Essentially, this Teochew delicacy is shaped like a peach, features a pink coloured sticky but tender skin that is stuffed with the most fragrant glutinous rice.
The Teochew people always have this prepared during the Chinese New Year celebrations because the peach is regarded in Chinese lore as a symbol of longevity.
