  4. Hi Soke Hah, I was thinking of cooking Cola Pork Trotter using my Thermal Cooker. Love the savoury sweet sauce. Noticed that the wings you used are long and slender. I suppose, they are not that oily.

    1. Hi Kimmy, I used kampong chicken wings. Yes, they're not so oily and had a better taste than farm chicken wings.

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.
