Worth the wait: Customers willing to wait a year for five siblings' kuih kapit available only during CNY


Based on customers’ feedback, what makes the kuih kapit crafted by these siblings - Low Siew Lee, aged 65, Low Sow Yoong (66), Low Siew Tiong (63), Low Siew Toh (62) and Low Siew Choo (57) - so special is their continued use of traditional methods, which they have maintained for the past 30 years, where the biscuits are baked over charcoal stoves, giving them a richer and more distinctive aroma.

IPOH: Unlike others, the traditional, aromatic and crispy kuih kapit (love letter biscuits) produced by five elderly siblings here are only available during Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations.

And oftentimes, their biscuits are said to be worth the wait - and their regular customers know it and are willing to wait patiently before they can place their orders.
