  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.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.
