The version I made is not small mould but 1 round tray. The people eat this on Sunday mentioned it is "Very Dry" and hard to swallow it. <br /><br />I was wondering why it was very dry ?<br /><br />The sugar I put was reduced to 120 gm.<br /><br />I didnt use any electric whisker, only manual egg whisk for mixing.<br /><br />Is this HK Mah Lai Koh dry or moist type ? <br /><br />Before this I had made "Chow Times blog" Mah Lai Koh before. This is the link of the recipe I tried http://chowtimes.com/2008/07/09/steamed-mah-lai-ko/<br /><br />The topping of Chow Times Mah Lai Koh was not at all shinning like ths pic. Maybe because I over beat the eggs before combining all the ingredients.Audreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-39524548621347762972009-10-28T19:44:46.037+08:002009-10-28T19:44:46.037+08:00Hi Jacky

I'm just wondering is it possible to: reduce the oil amount to 100g and replace the fresh milk with 150g coconut milk or is there a better combination of amount? I'm a total amateur to cooking so I'm not sure how to find the right balance of ingredients. Please help. Thank you! :)Jackynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-35548302093705765282009-05-28T10:37:00.359+08:002009-05-28T10:37:00.359+08:00Hi aunty,
