Hi Rose
I’ve been searching for the kueh pastry used for making chinese chives kueh (Gu Cai Kueh) and chinese turnip kueh (bang kuang kueh) and I wonder if you have the recipes please?
Thank you
Hiang
I’m compiling them, watch out for the posting next week.
Thanks

Hi Rose,
Happen to stumble on your blog while looking for chocolate walnut cake recipe. A casual friend brought hers and it was superbly light but she seemed vague to reveal her secret. Thanks for your generous sharing. BTW how do you skinned walnuts? The Diamond brand from USA is kinda pricey and those from China comes with skin on.
God bless you with continuing good health and thanks for sharing so freely your wealth of cooking experience, tips and recipes.
Hi Cindy,
I’ve never tried skinning walnuts. I normally take them raw or use them for baking with their skins on. Maybe, you try toasting them.
I will try to post more recipes whenever I can. Due to my leg problem, I can’t sit for long at my desk. Do keep me in prayers.
Thanks and god bless.
Rose

Hi Rose
Thanks for generously sharing your recipes. I will get enormous pleasure just going through them cos I enjoy cooking tho I am mediocre only. I have a colleague who will not share his recipe for ‘kong’ bak. Said it was only for his family….what a pity…if he shares more people can enjoy it and remember the generosity, like yours. Keep up the good work.
Hi Vicky,
Thanks for your appreciation. Perhaps your colleague is trying to preserve family’s traditional recipe. Never mind, I’ll post my family’s recipe. Cheerio!

Hi Rose

But not a prawn fritter , it is crispy and soft in the centre with the batter and prawn in the middle
Many thanks
