Chinese New Year Food – Penang Peranakan Cuisine - Kueh Kapit© Lingzie
Kueh kapit (also spelled kuih kapek) is a thin, crisp cookie emblazoned with auspicious words and symbols. Also known as love letters, kueh kapit takes an inordinate amount of effort to make, and is thus only prepared during New Year. For many people, though, the wait is worth it.
