Muah Chee (Peanut N Sesame) - Do It Yourself!

This is one tasty food that never fails to stop a passerby in his/her tracks. Muah Chee, a popular and traditional form of steamed sticky rice dough street snack, is widely liked by both old, not so old, and young. Ms F, mybuddy, is very experienced in making traditional cakes and snacks. She made some of these Muah Chee yesterday. It is a once in a blue moon 'event' so I definitely have to post her Foodwork here to share with everyone! 

Instead of buying Muah Chee from outside, why not try making it yourself? You can adjust the ingredients to healthier quality and proportions for your loved ones too. :)
