Need your help again! I made mooncake syrup late last night after work, and while cooling I fell asleep and this morning the syrup is so thick it can barely move in the pot.. can I warm it up to melt it down and maybe add some water to dilute? what is the right consistency of the syrup after it has cooled completely? it should be pourable, right?
Sorry to be so bothersome... I'm just all hyped up with this mooncake experience, hahaha... very grateful, Anita; August 21, 2008 11:25 pm

This is almost like mixed nut mooncake except for the skin. Is the skin puff pastry?; August 22, 2008 7:36 am
samshiki said...: Hi aunty,

very nice mooncake! Really liked this type of savoury mooncake.
I made a durian chiffon last night based on our post, but turned out quite bad. Empty in the middle area, with the mixture a little at the base. Wonder what's wrong.. I made pandan chiffon before with no issue. Appreaciate your advise. :)
Thanks

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi maureen,

Chiffon cakes are very naughty cakes to bake. Sometimes it turned out very well and sometimes it's a total disaster. It has a lot of factors to disasters like the eggs and mixing....your durian chiffon cake could be due to poor mixing cos the durian meat are quite heavy for the light cake.

I was interviewed for a programme abt my illness. I quoted looking at ur bakes and eating in front of it as one of the ways I coped with loss of appetite. Heehee

samshiki said...: Hi Aunty,

thanks for the advice. I agree with you. Seems like the puree floated to the top, resulting the base, when inverted, sink onto the wire rack. taste wise, it's good, the room smells of durian. actually, I forgot to sift the cake flour. Could that be the reason?; August 22, 2008 3:57 pm
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi samshiki,

I'm not too sure whether the flour is the cause but when I first started learning how to make a chiffon cake, my teacher told us to at least sift 3 times before mixing. I'm too lazy for that, I just sift once only.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi tweetybird,

I hope you're getting better with your illness. Oh thanks for quoting about my bakes. Where can we see your interview...is it on TV or magazines? Hope to read about it.

Take care...eat more and rest more too.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi anita,

Just put in some water and dilute it again. When cooled, it should be able to flow in a gradual manner.

Aunty Yochana said...: Oh gosh Cui,

I will call you one of the sundays to pick it up , definitely before the chinese new year.

Thx for your reply. It's a CNA show, "A Journey of Hope" 9.31pm Wed. My segment is on 3 Sep. Not too sure about the editing but they filmed me viewing your blog.

I want to thank you for so generously sharing and posting the bakes. Your blog has been most helpful during my treatment till today.

Looking forward to your bakes everyday, and hoping to be a lucky recipient someday. ^^

Cheers!; August 28, 2008 5:10 pm

CNA = channel news asia, the one where always reports news, money mind programme, Japan hour etc. Paiseh, i very bad at describing. MediaCorp has chan 5, 8, U chan, kids central & vasantham (sp?) and then Channel News Asia. Dunno if this is clearer.

I was told there wld be 3 ladies with ovarian cancers being featured, of which i'm one lor. Very short segment nia, becos the programme supposed to be informative and educational.

I have your bakes virtually everyday, very happy. =) Thx!; August 29, 2008 9:48 am
Aunty Yochana said...: Hi tweetybird

O.K. got it...CNA at 9.30 on 3rd Sept.
