Hi CC,

I didn't know that Dealova is a beautiful song. Wow...it fits the lapis though. I got the name from one of the lapis book.

Hi Aunty,

My question is unrelated to this recipe.

Amy Beh's huat kuih recipe calls for the use of "toddy". What is toddy? Where can I buy it?

Agnes Chang's recipe book shows the making of rice huat kuih using the rice and chinese yeast fermentation method. Do you have any idea how the fermented rice will look like? Will it have some cottony "mould" on the rice?

Sorry to bother you with this question. I'm trying to make some huat kuihs and have these doubts.

For bread, if recipe calls for 10g instant yeast, is it 2 tsp?

Pls help advise if you can, Aunty. Thanks so much.

This is too pretty to be eaten. :>

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mui Mui,

Toddy is a kind of fermented wine usually drank by Indians. Yes you can also use toddy to make rice huat kueh.

Using chiew piah or wine yeast biscuit is the correct one for making rice huat kueh. After 2 days, it becomes soft and wet with some liquid in it. It should taste sweet and you can even use it to cook with your meat. Souldn't be mouldy though.


Yes 10 gm. instant yeast is about 2 tsp.

Yes indeed we are all very "addicted" to your blog.

As for the rice cake yes its indeed tasty.. reminds me of childhood days...

Btw, I managed to get some cashew polvoron from manila after being tempted by those u made. Its real tasty jus dat a little bit sweet.My filipino colleague told me there is this Pinipig polvoron dat is even more tasty. Wonder what is Pinipig. Any idea lucy??

Mei

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mei,

If I'm not not mistaken, Pinipig means nuts.
