What is the name of the round wafer like snack from Singapore?

This has been bugging me!


When I was little we used to buy a pack of these 'wafers'; they would have 3 different colors - pink, green, or yellow, and would come maybe, 10 to a pack. It was really cheap and semi tasteless, and you can still buy them in snack shops in Singapore.


What are they called!!!!!





Also, another snack from childhood; this is a little round biscuit with blobs (no better word to describe them) of coloured icing on top. What are they called!

What is the name of the round wafer like snack from Singapore?
The wafers are called as they are, wafers, only that they are ala Singapore. As for the little round biscuits with a blot of icing, they are called "Navel Biscuits", in cantonese "Tou Chi Pang", "tou chi" being navel and "pang" means biscuits.





The later are still available in local sundry shops while the wafer biscuits, I think, are extinct.
Reply:The small 1 inch of round biscuit with a drop of coloured icing on top is called - "ATAP CHEE" biscuit! They are still selling it around the neighbourhood!





About the "round wafer", could you show me a photo, i don't know which one your are pointing! I have some little clues.
Reply:I love those! I remember that the round wafers have a malay name, I think something puteh? I really can't remember. It's been a long time since I've eaten those.





The icing blob biscuits...not sure what they're called, but Giant and NTUC sell them really cheap.
Reply:Pilot biscuits.
Reply:i know what you're referring to! but no, there isn't a name for it.


will multi-color wafer do?





the second snack... flower biscuits? they have it in the shape of mini burgers now, where the icing is the burger patty.
