Gula Melaka Huat Kueh 椰糖发糕



"清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有,牧童遥指杏花村。" 光阴似箭,转眼又是清明节。今天一大早,我们一家人驾车回马国扫墓。一路开车到柔佛关口和到K城,交通都非常顺畅比预算时间早到许多。 我做了发糕回去拜拜,这个食谱在去年贴过的。我喜欢做这个发糕因为它真得很好吃。

Time really flies, Qing Ming festival is arriving. I make some huat kuehs as a offering for the Qing Ming. I like this huat kueh because it is very easy to make and the recipe dose not need yeast to work as the raising agent. And as you can see, all the huat kuehs are smiling. Aren't they beautiful?.And they are delicious too.

500 g plain flour
1 1/2 egg ( about 86 g)
400 g gula melaka

3 teaspoon hot water

  5. Hi Jess, santan gives better taste and fragrance. If I am not wrong this recipe can make 12- 15 pcs of fa gao.

  6. The taste is really great, but mine doesn't "smile" (open up) ...the face remain close...Why is it so? The taste is good but it must look good too... Appreciate your comment.
    Thanks,

  7. Hi Kevin, did you follow strictly method step no.3? Do not place huat kueh too near to each other (also means do not steam too many at one time), and only start to steam when water is boiled. Steam over high heat.

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Regards,

  8. Hi Veron...Took your advice about putting in ONLY AFTER the water is bubbling boiled...I place 1 pc in just to test in ....guess what? when I opened the lid....the kueh "smiled" at me..The feeling was exhilarating.....better than an orgasm (pardon my crude language)...but that was how excited I was after so many failures from other recipes...Now, not only it taste good, it looks good too...
