  7. Hi Sonia,

    I also love to buy this from the hawker store but sometime it has an alkaline after taste which I don't like it. Whereas this recipe don't have the alkaline after taste and I found that it taste like nian gao. Yummy! :p

  8. Hi Anncoo,

    This recipe yield about 20 small cups. It nice to make this for a party but I don't think most of the children will love to eat kueh. My suggestion is leave half portion of the kueh without any grated coconut coating. Maybe they will try it as my elder one love it with the coconut coating whereas the younger one prefer it plain. Hope this help. :)

  17. I love this type of kueh. Do you think I can just omit the alkaline water in this recipe?

  18. Hi Janice and Icook4fun,

    Sorry, you can't omit the alkaline water or replace it. Both of you don't have to worry, this recipe uses a small amount of alkaline so it wouldn't have any after taste of alkaline.

  19. Hi Happy flour, when I saw kuih kosui recipe on your blog, my husband and I were very excited as both of us like kuih kosui a lot but difficult to find nice ones. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Before I try out, may I know will the swee kueh mould too big? Or it is better to use mould smaller than this. Where did you get the plastic mould? At phoon huat, only metal moulds are available.

  20. Hi Sue,

    You can use any kind or sizes of moulds which you have. If you worry it will stick in the mould then lightly grease it.
    I bought the plastic mould from Sun Lik.
