Aunty,

Hi delia,

if it's too short, try using 6" square tray. For CNY, short is good ...not so jelak.

Hello yochana,
Recently I discovered your amazing blog and always looking forward for your delicious recipe… especially for the Asian sweets… unfortunately I can’t find many of them…
In some recipes you used pandan paste… I found only pandan leaves (I live in Japan)… do you think that I can use them instead of paste…
Regards,
Cris

Yes Chris,

You can pound the pandan leaves and squeeze out the juice.

Hi,

May i know what's the purpose of the marie biscuits?

Thank you ~

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi,

Add the blended marie biscuits into the batter, it acts as a flour.

Hi Aunty,

1)If were to omit the marie biscuits, what will happen ?

2) Can we replace the marie biscuits with other flour? If yes, what flour ?

Aunty Yochana said...

HI anonymous,

you can substitute with low gluten flour...same amount, no changes.

Hi Elaine,

You have to make sure that every layer is cooked before pouring in the next layer. Test with your finger.
