Teochew Ah Balling; tends to be blander, served in a simple sugar syrup flavoured with pandan leaves, unlike the Hokkien Version that serves the Ah Balling in a much sweeter peanut soup. Peanut soup is basically sugar syrup cooked with grated peanuts to bring out the fragrance of the nuts!

Well, we bet you have a better understand of what Ah balling is now!
It may resemble the dessert - Fen Yuan, in Taiwan.
However, fen yuan can be eaten chilled and they normally come in different colours and have no filling. The flour used could even be of different flavours such as sweet potato and yam.
Ah Balling is authentically made in Singapore, that's why it's unique!
