Enter the Kuehverse

Kueh Machine is the result of a two-month experiment conducted by a Singapore-based design team. We explored emerging web development tools by each making small projects, checking in along the way and sharing feedback as we built. This site brings those projects together as a collection.

Kueh (or kuih in Malay) are sweet and savoury snacks that are part of Singapore’s food culture and are found across Southeast Asia. They come in many shapes, colours, and flavours, often using ingredients such as glutinous rice, coconut, gula melaka, and pandan. The nonsense pairing “Kueh Machine” was the designers’ shared starting point without prescribing an outcome. It could be read literally, treated as a meeting of tradition and technology, or taken somewhere else entirely.
