Pie tee is a dish consisting of a thin pastry—shaped in the form of a cup—which is filled with various sliced vegetables such as bamboo shoots, turnips, and carrots. The shells are made with the help of a pie tee mold that is first dipped in batter and then into the sizzling oil, while the top of each pastry is usually topped with chili sauce, coriander leaves, omelet strips, and shrimps.

Although the origins of this decorative snack are said to be among the Peranakan Chinese, the exact location where they first appeared is not known, and the dish is linked to both Malaysia and Singapore.
