    Thank you, this looks absolutely sumptuous! How much konnyaku and malic acid? sorry, unfamiliar with using these so don't want to experiment too much, no instinctual 'feel' for it. Hhave used agar agar before. Also when recipes say 'a packet', it's a bit vague, because the internet is a world wide resource, with many products available in different locations- better to use measurable quantities. ( a very American trait, I think they forget there are other nations and peoples in the world) But thank you I can't wait to try. (also thanks for anonymous option, I guard my internet privacy somewhat zealously)

      When we buy the Konnyaku jelly powder, it comes in a packet. Then follow the instructions at the back of the packet. You can hop over to this post to check out how the packet looks like. Hope this helps and thanks for dropping by my blog.

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.
