Muah Chee or Muar Chee is a Penang local delicacy made of glutinuos rice and coated with ground roasted peanuts, granulated sugar and top with fried shallots. My mum and I used to made when I'm a teenager as my family love muah chee so much. I've tried many stalls in KL but still can't compare to those we found in Penang. After so long I've decided to give it a try. Making the glutinuos rice is quite easy but the problem is the process of removing the peanuts skin after toasting it in the oven is quite time consuming. But if we are chasing for the true taste then we shall made all from scratch, otherwise you may buy those roasted peanuts and grind it yourself.
