Hi,
I was wondering if you could post this receipe for the Milo Cookies. Whenever I look at the things you bake, it actually makes me miss Singapore and that's rare to come by since I've been living in the States since I was a child. Thanks.

Aunty YOchana,

I love your cakes, have asked for some of your recipes and have never received any.

Do you actually send when we request?

Thank you anyway. I am just disappointed cos I want to learn from you.

Hi Auntie Yochana. . ^^

This is my first time ever commenting to someone. . And i am sorry if i am rude. .

I was wondering can we leave out the chocolate emulco? I read that this paste was just to give it a darker colour is it?
And, for the crushed nestum cereals, is it just crushed or is it blended finely?

Thanks for the recipe and this is such an awesome blog. . =D

Dear Aunty

I just wanted to thank you for your generosity in publishing your lovely recipes in your blog. As a Malaysian who have lived in a western country for 25 years, your recipes and photos have inspired me to create some asian baked goods for my family to enjoy, especially introducing asian cakes/kuehs/cookies to my child so he doesn't grow up a 'gwai-lo'. Regards, Doris, Australia.

Hi Doris,

So your 'gwai-lo' son likes our Asian food? Have fun showing him....

Hi Ek Wei,


Don't worry. you're not rude at all.

Yes the chocolate emulco is just to give the colour, so you can omit it.

Cereals, crush or no crush, doesn't make much difference. I didn't crush it. I like the coarse texture. If you like it fine, then crush it. It's your preference.

hi aunty,
I've some questions to ask..I tried making the mixture just now. when I was about to put in the cereals then i realised I do not have any cereals at home so I left the dough alone then went to buy the cereals.
1)does it affect the texture of the dough?
2)what is the thickness of the dough?when I rolled the first layer, it sort of stick to the paper and it's hard to remove.when I tried to remove, it breaks..:( so what I did was I just rolled the first layer and put the dough on top of it and roll again..
3)could you teach me how to roll it perfectly?
4)now it's in my fridge.how long do i keep it in the fridge?

regards
cindy

Hi cindy,

leaving in the fridge is good.

Just roll it between 2 sheets of plastic paper and top up layer by layer.
