Hi Lucy
Thanks for posting this recipe.
The muah chee flour is new to me.
Where did you get your flour from?
I don't remember seeing this at Phoon Huat.

Hi chawanmushi,

You can buy this Japanese mua chee flour from Anna Phua at Aljunied.

Hi Lucy

Would muah chee flour be the same as mochi flour? Can't imagine finding muah chee flour here.

I really drool over your cakes and bakes and not so long ago all your lovely mooncakes. It made me really wish I had bought moulds and ingredients when I was in Singapore. Guess that will have to wait till next year.

Yes vivien, it's mochi flour but anna phua sells the Mochi flour of good quality. From Japan.

By the way, where are you residing?

Anna's Culinary is at Sims Lane. Near the Aljunied MRT. The shop is behind the Shell Petrol station along Aljunied Road and next to Phoon Huat.

Hi Lucy

I'm in California. We have mochi flour from Japan.

Btw, Martha Stewart gave out mooncakes to all those attending her live show just before the mid-autumn festival. I think she mentioned that she learned about the mid-autumn festival from her Chinese housekeeper. If only she could see YOUR mooncakes!!!

Keep up your good work! I enjoy coming to your blog to drool at all your creations.

Regards
Vivien

Hi Vivien,

You should have asked Martha Stewart to look into my blog then...hahaha

Hi aunty Yochana,

May I know if the skin of the mua chee is transparent, then what did you do to get that different colour like green, red and black? Did you add colouring to the transparent mua chee or it is the colour of the filling? I'm trying this recipe and I'm so excited.

Hi Mindy,

It's the bean paste that gives the colour. The skin is crystal clear.

Hi, I've tried this recipe and find it is too sticky to handle. Is there a way to prevent it from being too sticky?

Thanks.

Yuqin

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Yuqin,

This recipe is not sticky at all. I think you got the wrong flour. You must buy the expensive Japanese flour from Anna Phua Culinary school.

Thanks for your reply. Is Japanese mua chee flour same as Japanese mua chee powder? I brought it Anna Phua Culinary. Thanks.

Hi Aunty Yo

The mooncake seems to be coated with some kind of flour. What flour did you use?

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous,

I covered it with fried tapioca flour.

Hi Aunty,
Do you have a simple black sesame paste recipe to share? Would like to try paring it with the mochi. TIA!

Hi Yochana,

May I know if the Anna Phua that you are talking about is the same one as the one from Anna's culinary centre? Its at Sims Place?
Thank you!

rykiel said...

Hi Yochana,

Does it take a long time to cook the mixture till transparent? Cos it seems to be quite 'doughy' and yet to turn transparent.

Thank you for ur advise :)
