There are two types of chai kuih or vegetable dumplings sold in Penang. The most common one is the Hokkien dumpling as its admired for its translucent and pearly skin made of mixture of wheat starch, tapioca flour and glutinous rice flour.
The mark of good Hokkien chai kuih is the fine, light skin enveloping the dumpling, its breaks apart at the gentles bite and its usually filled with chives or yambean flavoured with dried shrimps.
