  1. Dear Rose:

    I love Huat Kueh but each time when I try to make it, it does not “Huat.” It is a bad sign, huh, ha! ha! Yeast is not good for me, so I wonder if I can use your recipe without the yeast? Can I use something else besides yeast, so it will fluff up and “huat?” Please advice. Much love and blessings, Elizabeth.

  2. Dear Rose,
    Because there is no photo to show the above huat kueh, I wonder is this the ‘huat kueh’ that is round and white with a big pink chop on top. The one which can be found normally on Chinese new Year.

  3. Dear Pauline,
    The round white huat kueh with a big pink chop on top is called ‘bee huat kueh’ which is made of rice flour. The above huat kueh should open up like a flower.
    Regards!
    Rose

  4. Dear Rose,

    IT would be better if photos can be displayed so as to differentiate brown and rice huat kueh.
