My mom and I actually make ours with natural food coloring meaning we actually pound pandan leaves, blend carrots or beets. We’ve even used orange juice before! It’s super pretty and so much fun to make.

Ps I’ve tried making scones according to your recipe but alas they turned out rock hard. To this day I still don’t know what I did wrong. Haha.

I usually boil mine in the same pot…why must boil in different pot? Less pot to wash^^ in uni we would stuff with cheese, chocolate etc and use pandan juice/carrot juice/ocha etc natural colour. I made some with store bought ones, only white, ctracked a few and floated like fish balls but still yummeh ^^

Thanks so much for the recipe. I will try it out in a couple of hours. I really suck at making glutinous rice balls. Have been trying for so many years… 14 to be exact since I got married. Each time, the centre is hard after like 6 hours.

I love the photos too, especially on the one that’s not good … The goo one! Anyway, have a great celebration! Cheers!

[...] The fish maw soup was great – flavourful and packed to the brim with the rather luxurious fish maw. The roast pork was definitely not in the same league as Pudu’s siu yuk but could definitely hold its own. Glutinous rice balls were ordinary, I prefer the ones I made…hehehe. [...]
