This is one of my all time favorite snacks, Chwee Kueh, a popular Chinese snack made of simply rice and tapioca flour.  Often this dessert can be served simply with mixture of salted turnips,garlic and sugar or with sambal condiment.  It tasted just like the ones in my hometown, soft refreshing and tasty.
