‘Kueh tutu’ (steamed rice flour cake) is a local snack. It got its name from the sound made by horns used by hawkers to attract customers. Rice flour was steamed in handmade tin moulds to make the ‘kueh’ (cake). The ‘kueh’ had either desiccated coconut, palm sugar or fried peanut fillings. Tin spoons were used to scoop the fillings into the cake mould before steaming. This shorter tin spoon was used for peanut fillings while a longer one (see 2006-01438) was used for coconut fillings.
