Black angkoo...(Ord ku kueh)..~~黑菇粿还是...呜龟粿呢???

~Ord (means black in Hokkien) koo kueh.....黑菇粿~

If you like to eat kueh muih then you may know there is a kind of kueh like this one here but it is red in colour. The red one is called Angkoo kueh (Ang means red). This black koo kueh is made of Argy wormwood leaf (mugwort leaf-ai ye). This plant is a kind of herb, it has a lot of usage for health of a women. 

黑/呜菇粿很好吃...你有看过红菇粿黑菇粿可能比较少看到.也有人用粗叶来做这种黑菇不过我要跟分享的是我妈妈教我的是用艾草/叶做的. 艾叶是一种草药,功用可大了.

~Haha..that is the special part of this herb but I am using it to make this delicious kueh Ord Koo Kueh...先不讲他有什么功用,先来做~
