“HuluGali 70% chocolate frozen air, fu yu ice cream, kai zai peng crumb (chicken biscuit), red yeast caramel” Wow. The first bite was... unexpected. For the uninitiated, fu yu (or fu yue) is a fermented bean curd commonly used as a condiment and kai zai peng (or chicken biscuit) is a traditional savoury biscuit from a town called Kampar. It’s a great snack, highly addictive but we never knew why it’s called chicken biscuit considering that it’s not made of chicken 😂. This was such a playful dessert, alternating between sweet and savoury and the occasional bittersweet note. Those chicken biscuit crumbs took it to another level and I almost wished there was more of it. I do feel that us Malaysians probably enjoyed this more than our Singaporean guests. Chicken biscuits are something that most of us grew up eating and this definitely gave us a sense of nostalgia. Those who are not familiar with it will likely just find this... strange 😁.
