  1. Dear Rose

    Tried making the Kaya for the 2nd time and it is more like the top layer of kueh sarlat.

    Please advise as to how the kaya can be improved into a soft smooth texture which can be spread on bread.

    Cheers

  2. Dear Dors,
    The mixture should be stirred continuously over a slow fire till texture is of spreading consistency.
    Have a blessed New Year!

  3. Hi Rose,
    It is good to hear of your recovery from breast
    cancer. My husband of 30 years recently recovered from
    bowel cancer thank God. I hope you stay well and healthy.
    I came across your website by accident and found it really
    interesting as i had been looking for a recipe for banana hoon kuey which i had to make in school in Singapore many years ago.
    I would appreciate it if you can help me with that. Thanking you
    in anticipation. God Bless

  5. hi pa,
    pandan leaves, knotted means just tying one or a few long pandan leaves together into a knot so they’re shorter in length and hence easier to stuff into pots. hope this helps :)

    Cheers.
    PS first time here and i’m loving the recipes!
