    bian bian,

    you won't believe me if I tell you that my square rings is about 30 years old. What I did was ...I went to a furniture shop and saw this hollow square aluminium legs for making cheap tables. I bought them and get someone to saw it to the height I want. Hahaha...cheating huh...but usable till today.

    Hi yola,

    You can get green tea powder in a shop in Junction 8. I didn't buy it myself. One of my friend got it for me. It's a small little tin.

    Pineapple jam in Taiwan is not as tangy and is much chewier than those sold in Singapore. Do you have a recipe for self-made Taiwanese Pineapple Jam? Also, I was recently given a "Durian Tart" and it looks and tastes very similar to Pineapple tarts, only instead of Pineapple, it uses Durian as the base of the filling. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make the "Durian Paste" (since you're the expert... :-)) Thanks...
