Chwee kueh 水粿 is a traditional Teochew comfort food commonly found in Johor, and also Singapore.
To me chwee kueh is the traditional classic working man's humble energy food from leaner, harder times. Plain carbo (steamed rice flour milled from broken rice chips) made palatable with savouriness from finely diced preserved radish (chai po) stewed in oil (traditionally lard). Nothing fanciful nor pretentious, but authentic and very charming in my opinion.
