Hi amelia,
Don't think the dessert is to reduce heat, is good for the skin(beauty),lung,brain etc.. i forgotten to add another ingred for the dessert which is nan/bei almond.
I know kailan stem from my MIL, is a very fat stem not those kailan veggie, i think the stem is only good for soup it suppose to be very good for the body loaded with vit.
Don't know the sweetness from the soup is from the stem or meat or xiang pa pian cos add too much stuffs but it bring out a very nice veggie smell.
Hi van,
Will check it up with the veggie store uncle for fen ge, thanks!

annlee,
no lah, coincidentally i have some of the info only lah.
Sp,
There is ICING TOPPING for the carrot cake, but I find it too sweet for my liking.My relatives also don't like too sweet cakes,so I always cut down sugar, or skip icing.
ICING FOR CARROT CAKE:
200g Icing sugar
30g butter
1 1/2 tbs lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon.

Van,
thanks again for the icing recipe.
actually I also don't like too sweet cakes, so maybe won't put the icing.
I hv a confession to make: last weekend I tried making double recipe for the banana walnut muffin but I put less sugar and more flour + tried to bake longer. In the end the muffins were hard, burnt at the bottom and dry. Failed miserably.
Van,
can check with u, if I want to reduce fat or sugar or both, how many % can I reduce without spoiling the whole recipe? Should I use any substitutes? What would be good substitutes? I really love to eat cakes but it's usually high fat & high sugar, must control...

Choc,
So Glad to see you back. Was wondering why you MIA.Thought you go deliver liao.
So are you at your own house now? or your mum's.?
Jul's Women's Weekly got a few nice recipes,will be scanning it into jpg/pdf file.Will then post it up. But already posted the Oxtail stew recipe in the SPMCTR Group.
I love pumpkin! Chinese style with hae bee, and ang mo cream of pumpkin soup. In Hong Kong, I ordered a Vegetarin Pumpkin Curry dish, it's quite nice,the curry they used is the Japanese style curry.
Cat and Sophie, where are you?
sp,
I don't have any fixed guidelines, but usually I won't cut more than 50g sguar(also depends on the total sugar/flour/egg combo) for cakes,cos I read that it will affect the output if we anyhow cut down too much.
If you reduce sugar, don't add more flour or bake longer.Just stick to the original baking time,testing method.
annlee,
If you like chewy food( I love chewy food!) you will like the Xiang Luo Pian.

Yo van, we are back in our own house, doing some weekend packing.. next week going for 2nd appt to surrender keys.
How's your dd ?
I like pumpkin, but my ang doesn't like .. think only ladies like it more !
Which mag has more recipes ? Simply Her or Women's weekly ?
Also made curry batang fish yesterday using Baba's curry powder.. and we added some pineapples, was very nice.. Think it'll be more power to add sour mangoes in... yumm..

Choc,
My ang also doesn't like pumpkin,strange,seems a lot of men don't like it.
I didn't buy Simply Her, but Women's Weekly has enough write-ups and recipes to keep me buying every month.
My dd still complain on-and-off about thigh pain,ankle pain.This time round arms painful from too much golf with her dad.
Have tried curry with pineapples, but never try with sour mangoes leh.
So you going to shift house liao? Don't move the furnitures or heavy boxes hor, take care.

I havent read Women's Weekly so it's difficult to compare.
Simply Her has plenty of recipes monthly( more than 20 for July).Layout is clean and modern;a good mix of fashion, beauty, health, tech and home.Quite a good mag for $3.50.I will scan the recipes for july...no energy to type that many.
Annlee,
You mean fat kailan stem isn't from kailan veggie?I thought they come as one then you separate them..

Amelia, is not the kailan veggie with thin stem with leaves, is one big stem with a few leaves on top of the stem, only one big fat stem,normally i will buy two stems for the soup or you try to ask your veggie store owner to see whether they have it or not. They seldom have this veggie in the market but when i see it i will grab some back

Went to Fu Hua and Eu Yan Sang in CCK Lot 1,can't find Xiang Luo Pian. Also thot of buying dried sea coconut(good for lungs and cough), since didn't see fresh ones in market nowadays, but can't find dried one also.
hey van,
I bought mine from De Xing at chinatown, opp Eu Yan seng.. the cubed dried ones..
Soph mentioned that she looked for it in FH, but only managed to get the dried sliced ones.. think it looks like dried abalone.
Did you buy any dried stuff from HK, heard that they are good and cheap.. A friend bought a roast goose back ..
What colour is the sea coconut? Brown one is it ? The ones they sell in the dessert stall ?Didn't see in market before leh.. I only saw the round white translucent ones. How to cook huh ?
MIL says luo han guo also good to dissolve phlegm. First crush the dried LHG, then boil in water for half an hr, to let out the sweetness, then add chrysanthemum.. Off fire.. ready to drink. But, the taste a bit kam (siap siap)

Choc,
I couldn't even find the dried sliced ones in FH here.May have to go other smaller Chinese Medicine Shops in Teck Whye to buy.
I didn't get any dried stuff from HK, don't know how to choose,don't want to kenna Tok Cai Tao. Last year, we brought a roast goose back also, but I didn't eat it,gave the whole goose to my MIL.Heard that it's very Fat!
The fresh sea coconut I saw at wet market is white.The dried ones may be light brown color.
Recipe for Sea Coconut Soup:
Sea coconut Yi4 Liang3
Nan Xin and Bei Xin(less of Bei Xin)
Wu Hua Guo 6pcs
ginger 1 slice
Lean Pork about 600g
6 bowl of water.
Add salt to taste.
The one I drank in HK used fresh sea coconut,Huai Shan,Qi Zi, Dried Longan,lean pork and pcs of black chicken.
Good for Yang3 Yan2 and Zhi3 Ke2.

Choc,
Fresh sea coconut is translucent or white... those brown ones at dessert stall is becos of the added sugar and honey. If the shell not removed and brown, means not very fresh already...

Amrlis,
I found my Xiang Luo Pian and dried sea coconut at Yew Tee. Took photo but can't upload cos my PC Monitor is spoilt. Alwasy black out after a few seconds, very troublesome. In fact, I am typing in the dar, then on the monitor again for a few seconds,keep doing this. Dun know is it Monitor retire or virus.Won't be able to log in again until the monitor is fixed or get a new one.
Where do you stay? I like the wet market at Yew Tee too,but the NTUC is really too small.

chua & SP
haha, cos he quite fussy on food type. I rem when i suggested to go there on Thursday his face is like 'just had 1 ton of sour plum'!
btw their Sour plum cola is good must try also!
chua if is those traditional type of sugarcane+chestnut, the sugarcane is not those normal sugarcane u know right? it is less sweet they called it 'zhu zhe'.
What we used to cook is just clean the water chestnut and zhu zhe. use a 'hammer' or back of the knife to flatten them.
Then just boil it for about an hour.
