You are such an amazing baker! Are these all your own recipes? Have you considered publishing them into a cookbook?

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Wendy,

sorry...didn't inform you gals that I went for holiday in Seoul...

Thanks for your concern.

Aunty Yochana said...: Dear Oilin,

Actually recipes repeats and repeats and most authors just do some slight changes and called it theirs so it's the same for me. I got my recipes from books and some created by me.

Publishing a book is a dream for me....

Thanks for your encouragement and kind words.

was just about to ask if you are okie as there were no postings for the past few days and tadah! A new entry! Glad that you are fine and hope you enjoyed your trip! :); January 17, 2007 3:08 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Thanks Rae for your kind concern. I did enjoyed every holiday...cos our family will get together , chatting and eating together whereas if we are at home, everybody will do their own stuff and u don't get to communicate much. So whether the weather is hot or cold, I still enjoy the closeness I have with my family.

Looks like strips of lemon to me :) Btw, how do you mould the agar2 eggs so perfectly? Plz advice me. I really want to give my grandma a surprise. Thank you so much.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi mei,

Those strips are agar agar. You set the agar agar and then use a shredder to shred it. For the eggs, I used empty egg shells to do it.

Anonymous said...: Oh. That means you just empty the egg thru a small opening on to of the shell. Pour a little agar2 for the yolk. Once it sets, pour another coloured agar2 for the white? I presume the agar2 that binds the "bird nest" together is plain? What about the shredded agar2? Is it plain with colouring or you added some flavouring to it? Sorry to ask so many qs. I hope I can make this. Thanks a lot Aunty. You are a genius!

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Mei,

Yes i used the empty egg shells with a small hole on top.

The shredded agar agar are santan agar agar with some colouring then shred it.
