Hello Rosie,
This is the many times I have come back to your site, to try out your recipes.
I have tried using small pastry cases to make the pie tee case, but they all turn out to be too thick and hard.
I live in Cornwall England. Could you please tell me where I might buy a metal mould like yours ?
Thank you for sharing.

My question is about the PaiTee/Top Hats food that you had at your website. I looked around here at US Virginia and all the Asian store don’t carry this kind of tool to make the pai teel. Please can I ask a big favor I would like to order one tool for myself so I can make your recipe with out this kai tee/top hat I can’t make it. Please let me know how much and I will pay you for the cost with the handling and shipping too. I really aprreciate it so much for you helping hands.

Dear Rose,
Your website is a wealth of fantastic recipe. Thanks for your generous spirit in sharing with everyone. I tried making the Kueh Pie Tee and it was yummy. But I did face a difficulty, I can’t seem to shake off the case from the mold. I had to use a fork and push the case off the mold. What do you suggest I should do? Thank you.
God bless you always.

Dear rose,, I hope you’ve in good health.. I tried this yesterday ,, after my 5th attempt I managed to do the case base on your receipe…the only issue how do I keep this case crispy (even after keeping in tight container) the next day it turn to be soft and not suitable.. appreciate for your comment….Yati- Kuwait
Yati: I suggest you wait till the casings are totally (100%) cool before storing in air tight containers. Any remaining heat in the casing can create moisture and therefore soften your hard work of kuey paities!

Hi rose, where can i buy Kueh Pie Tee molder here in San Jose, CA. or online order? thanks
Hi! I live at 34000 Taiping, Perak State, West Malaysia. This Pie Tee Mold can buy it at those traditional Chinese Shop who sell all the kitchen ware. You can find a lot of type mold to do Asian deserts like Green Bean/ground nut Kuih(Ang Ku Kuih), Pie Tee, Satay Grill, Tosai Pan, Nyonyak Kuih, Dip Sum Steam Rack, Kuih Kapik(Love Letter), Mayong(Indian dessert), variety Tart Mold and more…..
If put some raw Sesame into the Pie Tee batter will more tasty. Put a few layer Kitchen Paper Towel in the Iron Container to suck the oil from the Pie Tee will keep it crunchy for a week. Arrange the Pie Tie layer by layer with Kitchen Paper Tower to arrange the Pie Tie. Let the Pie Tee cool down before tight up the container cover. Use tin Container is a ideal storage for Pie Tee. Eat with Garlic Chili Sauce is a more tasty. Brand : KG. Koh Garlic Cili Sauce(Malaysia) and red seafood sauce(sweet red sauce), and last put a 1/2 tea spoon fried chop garlic on top.
+Pie Tee can serve with other ingredient like dried curry vegetables ( potatoes+tomato+carrot+Big Onion+curry powder+Assam Jawa juice )
I have learn a few excellent stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much attempt you place to make such a wonderful informative website.
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but
I had to ask!
