Aroma Nyonya

As you all know by now, I have a soft spot for Nyonya kuih and lucky for me, there are quite a few "brands" of Nyonya kuih that sell tasty kuih in KL, namely Nyonya Colors (eatery) and Lulu (kiosk) - both are available in Midvalley Mall that I visit weekly. However, my favourite Nyonya kuih are those from Aroma Nyonya who distributes their kuih to other eateries and coffee shops.

I used to buy Aroma Nyonya kuih from Melaka Corner at One Utama or Mama Nyonya at IPC shopping centre. Recently I found out that a local coffee shop has started selling kuih from Aroma Nyonya at a better price than those eateries in shopping malls so now I just buy from the local coffee shop but I need to be early or else the kuih will all be sold out by 9.30 am. There is a stall in O&S coffee shop at Paramount Garden, PJ that sells Aroma Nyonya kuih too. All the photos below are kuih from Aroma Nyonya.

Various Aroma Nyonya kuih


Talam Keladi (Yam)


Bingka Ubi (Cassava Root - Ubi Kayu)

Ang ku, Talam and Getuk Getuk (made from ubi kayu)

The transparent plastic case containing Aroma Nyonya kuih has the words "Aroma Nyonya" embossed on it.

  1. Yes, I've tried the ones at O & S, very nice too - can compare with Lulu and Nyonya Colours but those do not come cheap. Are these cheaper? My friend bought so I do not know the prices.

    He also took me to a shop in that Paramount area, was telling me about how nice all the kuihs were...but he went and I waited in the car (I think we could not find a parking space so we were parked "illegally" some distance away) but he did not buy any, can't remember why - maybe we were too early.

  2. I like a few Nyonya kuih: onde-onde, the blue sticky rice with kaya & angku kuih.. If you give me these 3 types of kuih, I can wallop 15 pieces each!

  3. Yes, I did try some (only 3 actually so far) of the kuih here after you told me about it. Found it ok but still prefer the ones from Nyonya Colors. Sold out by 9.30am? I don't know which days you went but I usually go after church service on Sundays and that would be about 10am and when I leave after breakfast (probably just before 11am), there are still lots I can choose from to "tapau". I read from a magazine that the owner mans a stall in the Imbi market also (maybe you can try that some day).

    1. Did you manage to try the angku with mung beans fillings? Those by aroma nyonya is definitely much better than nyonya color's unless your standards are very different. One thing for sure nyonya color's kuih are smaller, sweeter and more lemak. Smaller so more expensive.

    2. My local coffee shop that sold out daily is in sri petaling. I was not referring to o&s for that but that day I went o&s no more angku but many others that I don't care about so didn't buy any. O&s stall is selling them at a much higher price than the stall in sri petaling.

    1. I agree nyonya colors kuih are expensive. Aroma nyonya kuih are sold by a stall in swee heng coffee shop in sri petaling. Have you been to that coffee shop?

    2. Sri petaling has two morning markets. Which one are you referring to?

      Delete
    3. Swee Heng? Not sure...may have seen but probably don't know its name. As for the morning market, I usually go to the one that has just moved to the covered car park opposite Jojo pan mee.

    4. I know the market you are referring to. Swee Heng is located at the other part of sri petaling where sushi mentai and ipoh chicken rice shop are located.

  14. Aha! I am also a fan of the Nyonya Kuehs like you. I often ate quick breakfasts at One-U's Little Cravings as they have good variety of kuehs. Eating them makes me feel warm like a child again.
