'''''Chwee kueh''''' (or ''chwee kway'') ([[Simplified Chinese|Chinese]]: [[wikt:水|水]][[wikt:粿|粿]]; [[Pinyin]]: shuǐ guǒ) is a type of [[steaming|steamed]] [[rice cake]], a [[cuisine of Singapore]]. ''Chwee kueh'' ([[POJ]]: chúi-kóe) in [[Min Nan|Hokkien]] literally means "water rice cake".

To make ''chwee kueh'', [[rice]] [[flour]] and [[water]] are mixed together to form a slightly [[viscosity|viscous]] mixture. They are then placed in small cup-shaped containers that look like saucers and steamed, forming a characteristic bowl-like shape when cooked. The rice cakes are topped with diced preserved radish and served with chilli sauce. ''Chwee kueh'' is a popular [[breakfast]] item in Singapore.
