Mmm,yum, I feel hungry just reading your recipes.
I've never made this kind of food before but it doesn't look too difficult for a simple Aussie like me!
Interesting reading your profile and notes on culture too.

kueh kueh before I visit Malaysia and Singapore. In between sampling Nyonya Cuisine and travelling, I hope to publish 2nd cookbook. Keep
on pratice on the kueh and make it your signature dish, there will be
more mouthwatering receipes to come in the NEW YEAR.

Thanks caa.Now this is a chance to try kueh Talam.It is very simple to make,someone used to tell me that you need to stir it for over an hour now I realised that they do not want me to cook better than them. Many old receipes were lost because they are not willing to share with families and friends. You can be a good cook if you are willing to pratice, that is the secret.
