Been looking at your blog n your culinary skills are good.
I am new to baking, can i ask u some questions here?
For the chocolate chips n walnut cookies, can substitute bicarbonate soda to 1 tsp baking powder?
For chendol jelly, where can i buy the chendol?
What is Gula Melaka?
Can i use normal sugar instead of palm sugar?
And for chendol layer, what other flour can use beside cornflour cos i have only plain flour.; February 19, 2008 12:39 am

Whisk eggs and sugar using electrical beater till it doubles in volume and creamy pale in colour.

Deflate means: bursting off all the bubbles in the eggs and collapsing it and turned watery. You need bubbles to make the cake light and airy.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anonymous,

can just omit the bicarbonate of soda if you don't have.

You can either make your own chendol or buy from supermarket. It's acutally made from hoen kwee flour, pandan juice and alkaline water.

Palm sugar is actually Gula Melaka. It's sugar make from coconut milk.

You can use tapioca flour to substitute for cornflour.
