  4. Hi Aunty Yo,

    Haven't seen you make kueh-kuehs for a while, and am delighted to see this lovely masterpiece here. Looks really yummy, can teach?

    I can't log on to blogger with my usual id to leave comments, dunno why, but blogger keeps saying my password was wrong though I never changed my password since the last time I logged on :( So you don't get to see my ostrich photo this time round.

  8. Hi Aunty Yo,

    Do you think it would be all right for me to skip the alkaline water? Would it affect the texture/taste of the kueh?

  10. Hi bluecrystal,

    It's better to use alkaline water. It gives the cake a nice crunchy feeling. YOu can omit it but it will not be so crunchy. It will softer in texture.
