Bee Koh MoyBee Koh Moy (4 May 2013)


The Penang Bee Koh Moy (Bee1 Koh3 Moy2 [bi-ko-moi], also variously spelled as Bee Koh Mooi, Bee Koh Moi, Bee Ko Moi, etc.) is a black glutinous rice dessert porridge served with a spoonful of coconut milk. Also called Pulut Hitam in Malay, Bee Koh Moy is a Nyonya dessert usually taken during tea time. Some people add gengeng kua (dried longans) and red dates to the pot although puritans prefer Bee Koh Moy without them. The addition of pandan leaves gives Bee Koh Moy a refreshing aroma.

Today there are only a few stalls selling Bee Koh Moy in Penang. You can usually get it alongside other Nyonya sweet broths such as Gandum (sweet wheat porridge), Ang Tau Thng (red bean porridge), Lek Tau Thng (green bean porridge, bubur kacang) and Sago.

  3. Stir the bee koh moey once a while to prevent it from burning.
  4. If a thicker type of bee koh moey is preferred, do not add too much water during cooking process. Use only hot water when topping up.
  5. Once the glutinous rice has broken up, add in sugar and stir until sugar dissolved.
  6. Off heat and set aside.
  7. Put the santan and a bit of salt into a small pot, boil using medium low heat. Stirring all the time to prevent the santan from breaking up.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
