I have tried this and it is delicious.. the only problem i had was whatever left over my kueh the dough seems to be on the tough side. What can I do to rectify this so it will be softer? Yummy.. before I could sit down to enjoy after steaming it was all gone between the three of us..

My mum used to make them and the skin always turned out soft and nice. Adding too much tapioca flour and over kneading the dough may be one of the reason.
Wish you success in your next attempt.
With Regards

Hi Rose,
I chanced upon ur blog while searching for Png Kueh’s recipe. A great site u have there!
For the bangkwang kueh, it’s more commonly known as “soon kueh” in Singapore.
U might like to try adding a small amount of black fungus as one of the ingredients for the fillings the next time u make this kueh again. Black fungus is a healthy food and also adds crunchiness to the kueh.
Wishing you well and do come out with more recipes when your health is better! God bless!
