Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee Recipe (Top Hats)
Step 1: Top Hats Cases
1 metal mold
100g plain flour
1 tbsp rice flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
180ml water
A pinch of salt
Oil for deep frying
Step 2: Filling
1 jicama, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 shallots (chopped)
6-8 shelled and deveined shrimp (chopped into small pieces)
Salt to taste
White pepper powder to taste
A dash of oyster sauce
Garnish:
Spring onion (finely chopped)
Pour all ingredients in step 1 into a bowl and beat with an electronic mixer. If you do not have an electronic mixer, whisk the batter until smooth. Heat oil in a wok with the mold in the oil. Do not overheat the mold. Dip the mold into the batter so it’s evenly coated and then deep fry the batter. To remove the case from the mold while frying, jiggle the mold up and down. Once the case turns light brown, remove it from the wok and set aside.
To cook the filling, add some oil into a wok. Stir fry the chopped garlic and shallots until light brown. Add in shrimp, jicama, and carrot and season with salt, pepper, oyster sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
To serve, fill the cases with the filling, garnish with spring onion, and serve with chili sauce.

Yep, they are small so it’s just a mouthful, but very delicious.
Chris – are you in Malaysia? They are not easy to find, but I know there is a hawker stall who sells them in Gurney Drive hawker center, Penang.
First time I m looking at this (work of art ), almost like an exotic highlands flower !

Chris – yes, you can go up to Penang with Tonixe, and while you guys are at it, read my hawker food guide: http://www.rasamalaysia.com/2006/10/insider-guide-to-penang-hawker-food_12.html
Rokh – well, they are certainly not easy to make…the cases take forever!

Tonixe – just don’t bring your passport and you will be fine. ;)
Please let me know where you (Rasa Malaysia) bought your Kueh Pie Tee mould. You mentioned that in one of your blog comments. I would like to buy one but none of my friends has a clue where the mould is sold. Also, if you know where the mould is sold in Singapore, please provide that info as well. I will check back again later to see your post. Thanks.
I did make some top hats according to the recipe and i wanted to keep it for CNY. It turned out quite good. Unfortunately, it became soft very fast altho I kept it in an air-tight container. Would you know the reason why?
I’d love to know where I could buy a mould for pie tee too! Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that sells them? If there’s nowhere (which I heartily suspect), the names shops in KL or Penang would be really welcome too!

PLEASE PEOPLE WHERE CAN I BUY A PIE TEE MOULD IN EUROPE?
I am living in Cambridge, UK. I got my mould from a online shop(bakingfrenzy).
There is one stall in Kuching selling Nyonya Pie Tee at 101 area at night and they tasted good and original.

my mother and grandmother makes them from scratch as well, using the long chopsticks to toss them around in the hot oil. we also put lap cheong (chinese perserved sausages) into the mix.
What does “pie tee” actually mean? I haven’t been able to find them in Hong Kong and am contemplating making them from scratch at home… daunting but thanks for the advice here!!!
Hello friends,
Where can I buy the pei tee cases?
Thanks.
