Hello Aunty Yochana
I love your blog. It always make me happy to see many beautiful sweets. I'd like to recommend that if you adopt recipes from magazines such as Y3K Recipes issue etc., you'll need to reference your source citing the issue number.
Sincerely,

Hi Aunty Yochana,
Love all your recipes and your blog. Very mouth-watering =).
Could you tell me where you purchase ammonia powder and kan sui (in your other recipes)? I am living in New Orleans now and it is difficult to find these ingredients here.
Thank you very much!
Hi Penny,
Oh dear...NEW ORLEANS??? HELP... I really don't know where to buy. Try Chinatown...some provision shop. They should have. Can anyone out there help??

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I can't wait to try this recipe for the kids when we get spring break here. Thanks so much for posting this recipe! :)
Aunty Yochana,
With regards to your earlier question for Penny in New Orleans, she can purchase ammonia from http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=baking+ammonia&tag=googhydr-20&index=gourmet&ref=pd_sl_dd7bqi2mp_b and KAN SUI from local asian markets. Hope this helps!
Can you perhaps explain what "ammonia powder" is exactly? I've seen you mention "ammonia" in recipe(s) before - to my Western ears it sounds unpleasant(!), like ammonia bleach we use to scrub kitchen sink - but it surely it's something more flavorful than a household cleaner?!
Oh Thanks East Meets West,
I hope Penny read this..
