20g tapioca flour
25g wheat flour
1/2tsp salt
220g water
620g hot water

If so, just add some water at a time and keep stirring until it form a smooth batter.)

Hi! The Chwee Kueh mould certainly look easy to use. May I know where could I get it from?

Hi Eileen,

I bought it from 'SKP' Ang Mo Kio. They supply and sell plastic bags, disposable utensils, aluminium moulds, muffin cups, etc. They have a few branches in the neighbourhood. Maybe you can check it out.

Hi Andrea_liz,

Wheat flour is wheat starch or tim sum flour.
