  1. Hi Cheah, nice soup to serve with toasted bread too. What kind of thick cream are you using? Simple and nice, I'll try.

    1. Mui Mui, I'm not so sure. It should be a pouring cream. Culinary cream is a fancy name for heavy cream, that's what I found it from Google. I also googled and found this website. Perhaps you can take a look at it.

    Thanks for your advise and information.
    I knew the culinary cream from Anchor dairy products demo. When I saw your creamy chicken soup I thought of that. :)
    Thanks again:)

Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes ~ 2013

For a change, I tried  using a premix to make these Snow skin mooncakes and for colour opted to go natural and use the Bunga Telang or Blue-pea flower.   Indeed the purple colour from the flowers was very distinct on its own but once mixed with the flour, I was rather disappointed. It turned out to be blue instead of purple.  Well, the consolation is that the colour is natural.   Taste wise, I would still prefer to make the Snow skin from scratch rather than use a premix.
