A popular Peranakan ‘Straits Chinese’ heritage appetizer, the Kueh Pie Tee (Tee Cups) is often prepared during festive periods like the Lunar New Year or on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. Kueh Pie Tee Cups are a thin, crispy tart shell traditionally served with a spicy and sweet mixture of thinly sliced Jicama, carrot, fried bean curd and prawns.
