Got to know of this Place via Johorkaki's 2018 Article on this actually.
What this place is, is actually a Food Truck that sells Homemade Teochew Kueh.
JohorKaki is right in his Review. This was managed by a Pair of Very Friendly, Polite and Warmly Welcoming Mother and Son Team. In fact they asked me how I got to know of them. When I mentioned JohorKaki's name, they immediately went "OHhhhh". Amusingly the Mom (Nancy) then proceeded to ask me "Eh? This JohorKaki, he is really from Johor ah?" ่ถ ๅฏ็ฑ!

As you can see, they have a Whole Wide Varieties of Different Kueh Kuehs available. Because this is a Food Truck, naturally there are No Dining-In Option and everything is for Dapao Takeaway only. So I randomly chose a Few that caught my Fancy.
Check out this Photo Collection of all the Kuehs they have Available.
Prices are not written. Do check with them how much they cost.
Before I describe the Kuehs, I thought I'd touch upon the Homemade Chilli Sauce they offer at this Place.
The Texture of this Chilli isn't unlike those Sticky Sticky Type you'd normally get from a Fast Food Outlet. The Difference is, this Chilli doesn't taste Sweet. It has a Hint of Garlic to it with a Very Mild Spicy that is so Mild that I think even Children will probably have no issues with it too.
ๅๅณ Original Mangguang = RM1.70
Quality of the Kueh Skin
Big in Sized, I thought it had a Nice Looking Crystal Skin wrapped like a Big Fat XLB. Skin is a Tad Thick but Soft to the Bite with No Doughiness. One thing though I find this Skin to be Very Oily ๅบๆฒนๅพๅค even when I bought this early just when they opened. I'd imagine this will ๅบๆฒน even more later in the Day. Not sure if they purposely Buah Oil on this to prevent Sticking, or this Kueh Skin ownself ๅบๆฒน tbh.
The Mangguang Filling within were cut in relatively Large Pieces and the Amount given was Generous. They give a Tad Firmish but Juicy Bite. This is not those ็ ฎๅฐ็็ type of Filling. Taste leans on the Sweeter Side though so if you might want to take note of this if you are watching your Blood Sugar. I do enjoy the ็ๆฑ in my Mouth as I ate this. They also have a Vegetarian Version which adds Mushroom in addition to Mangguang but I didn't buy that.
Spicy Mangguang = RM1.70
Noticeably Red in Colour, this one is Wrapped more like a Traditional Sng Kueh, uses the Same Soft and Very Oily Skin. Basically the Same as the ๅๅณ one except its Well Mixed with that Homemade Chili Sauce. Not Spicy at all.
Yam Kueh = RM1.90
Yam Kueh = RM1.90
Again using the Same Kueh-Skin, the Filling within is Yam + Mushroom. This time instead of Mangguang, Yam takes over. Its been boiled Soft and Smooth and disintegrates easily in the Mouth. The Whole Bite Feel of this has this Surprisingly Meaty Savoury and Slightly Saltish Taste. Yam Flavour is there and Not Overly Strong.
Png Kueh = RM1.90
Although the Kueh-Skin for this is also as Oily as others, this had a Slightly Firmer Texture. The Glutinous Rice within tasted Savoury with Mushrooms and Peanuts and Not Overly Salty. It doesn't deviate too much from a Regular Png Kueh Taste. This was a Decent Tasting if a Much More Firmer Version of Classic Png Kueh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At an Average Price of up to RM1.90 (S$0.60) for each of the Kuehs, I feel they are Reasonably Priced. The Kuehs were Decent Tasting, Fillings within were Generous, although I wouldn't call them a Definite Must Eat.
My Main Issue is this Kueh-Skin they used. While it is Soft and Tender, its not those Super Soft Until Melt in Mouth type. Its the Oiliness ๅบๆฒน that I felt kindda held this back. Actually I'm also not sure if they Buah Oil on this to avoid Sticking or if this Kueh-Skin ๅบๆฒน by itself. Either way, it is Noticeably Oilier than Usual Teochew Kuehs that I've eaten.
Personally, I feel ๆฐ็ณ้ป Restoran Min Corner at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah that I reviewed previously had a Higher Level of Png Kueh, or Kuehs in General.

What I appreciate was how Friendly and Welcoming this Mother and Son Team were and it was quite a Delight Chit-Chatting with them. Really Adorably Friendly Mother and Son Duo and I had a Pleasant Buying Experience.
Don't let my Average Score deter you from this Place. Although I don't feel its a really Die Die Must Come Place, but if you are ever Nearby the Taman Desa Tebrau Area and Craving for some Homemade Teochew Kuehs, and don't mind an Oilier than Usual Kueh-Skin, I can still recommend to give them a try and give them your Support!
