Hello Aunty Yochana!
for the Steamed Moist Choco Cake, is it possible to pour in paper cups/ those paper moulds meant for muffins instead of the 9-inch bake tin?! ;D

Dear aunty,

this is one of my fav pastry! :D i love the bean inside!

hehe next time when i can walk le and if it's ok for u to share the recipe i shall get from u and i will bake for my grandpas! yum yum!

Today i went to see dr.
Dr says that the bone is now quite straight but hopefully dont tilt back. another bad news is Dr says is my birth defect that i have loose joints. So all mine joints may affect next time. I told him that my elbow and fingers also pain but not as bad. He says pray hard that it will not affect others.

I abit upset to know that years down the road my condition may varies or worsen..

Really need to Trust God... and keep praying..

Regards,
wombat

Soorry,,

sign off wrongly...

Hi Yochana,

May I know can shortening be substituted to butter or cooking oil?

Thks.

Aunty Yochana said...

HI wei,

you can use all cooking oil instead of the shortening but becareful not to pour all in. The dough might be too soft to handle.

Hello Aunty,

Thank you for posting the Tau Sar Piah recipe! You mentioned to "Wrap B around A" in the recipe. May I please ask if "B" is the oily dough or water dough? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Warmest regards,
Jas

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi jas,

Oily dough is always inside and water dough outside.

Dear Aunty,
I made Tau Sar Piah last Saturday. It comes out very delicious. My father likes it very much, and we have had very happy moment together. Thank you so much Aunty, not only for your great recipes, but also for the happy moment (which becomes rare nowadays) our family shared together through the cakes you taught us. Sorry for this long comment, but I think you should know it.
Please keep on your good work, Aunty. God bless you and your family.

Aunty Yochana said...

hi mg,

I share the same sentiment as you. I like baking cakes with my mum and daughter. In this way, there's interaction between us tho sometimes we might have 1 or 2 arguments but the closeness is there. I'm happy for you...

For me, I like to make ppl happy.

rgds and have fun.

Dear aunty,
I would like to ask you few question, Hope to get your reply, THX!
Q1, when doing step 7, the wrapping process, will the ingredient mix when i roll B and A?(the moment i flatten the dough and roll again 4 3 times)
Q2, after i fried the shallot and pour it into the filling,should i pour with the oil or without oil? and fry the filling again until dry with oil or without?
Q3, when should i use steam bake? Every time when i bake a cake or only cheese cake? what is the purpose of steam bake?
Q4, aunty, my oven is those normal wan, i should use convection or 2-level conv. to bake this recipe?
Really hope to get your reply soon.. thanks aunty!

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Jasmine,

(1) No it won't mix together. You have to becareful while rolling. Don't let the inner oil dough burst out...it will mix if it burst.

(2) Yeah, you pour in some oil so that you can roll into round balls. If the dough is too wet, you fry till it is more dry. If it is dry enough, no need to fry.

(3) Steam bake cheesecake is to prevent your cheesecake from cracking and bursting into a volcano and at the same time it helps keep the cheesecake smooth and creamy.

(4) Just use convection oven will do. Use top and bottom heat to bake.

Dear Aunty, I succeeded in making Tau Sar Piah and the pastry is very crispy. If I want the pastry to be soft like Lo Por Pneang, can I reduced the amount of oil and by how much?
