  2. hi Jo,
    Ice cream soda is a fuzzy soft drink. It is available at most supermarkets. You can also use orange carbonated drink.
    Blessings!

  3. Hi Rose, I am very impressed with your list of recipes, My mum , like you used to know how to cook and bake very well but unfortunately she passed away two weeks ago. I regret not learning more from her

  4. Hi Rose,

    My paternal grandma was a bibik but then during those younger days, I never liked to learn how to make those Nyonya kuihs that she was very good at. Really regretted now but I liked your kuih sarlat, kuih lapis & kaya which were very, very good. Staying here in Arizona, I could only get canned coconut milk but then it turned out pretty good. Thanks for posting your recipes & will try out more of the other recipes.

    Regards,
    Jo
