I used 2 types of chestnut paste. I bought the Japanese one from Meidiya and the Hero's brand from Sun Lik. The whole chestnuts was bought from Meidi-ya.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi cheery,

I used a cake ring to slice it.

You can buy cake slicer from Chong Trading or Sun Lik. It's a very thin wire.

I am hosting a couple of Swiss friends for dinner in the coming week. Can you please give me the recipe for the Chestnut Gateau? I know they will absolutely love it. Since I am base in London, it will not be possible for me to purchase a Alex Goh's cookbook.Thank you.; July 04, 2008 10:47 pm
The Lee Girls said...: Hi Lucy,

Where can you buy the Y3k and Alex Goh's cooking books? I tried to find them from the Popular online website, but they are not featured there. I want to get them when I'm back for summer vacation.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Angelia,

No need to go online....just go direct to POPULAR book store and you'll be able to find the books unless they're out of stock.
