Happy Mama:
It's made from flowers? I didn't know that. All the while I thought they were using some kind of blue dye. Even their Nonya Dumplings also must put the blue stuff. I find too much colouring. :roll:
Genuine Nonya Kueh will use that flower, not colouring. Try telling the Peranakans that they use colouring for their Nonya Kueh, think they will skin you alive! :lol: -

:lol: :lol: To think that I thought I was eating blue dye all these while whenever I eat their kuehs.
I've checked, yes the blue colour comes from the Blue Pea Flower or Bunga Telang.

So now you know it's not colouring or dye.
Luckily you didn't say that to your aunt, otherwise, might get slaugtered by her! The Peranakans are very, very proud of their food. :celebrate:

Haha. You ladies.
Yah most peranakans are rather particular about the ingredients. If my mum were to try the kuehs that I make, she will say not gd enough cos I use pre packed coconut milk, not fresh coconut milk.
She gave me a bunch of those flowers recently but I did not use them. Did not find that it makes the kueh anymore attractive and it does not enhance the taste. -

Funz, so what are you supposed to do with the bunch of those flowers? Pound them to get the colour?Haha. You ladies.

Not too sure whether the swirl you are looking for. You might want to try this recipe.Hi mommies,
Can anyone share how to make nutella cupcakes?
Tried making some yesterday but the nutella was in a lump, rather than nicely spread out.
I had tried to \"soften\" the nutella by stirring them in a bowl over hot water, but after \"dropping\" them into the cupcakes, did the swirl, they are not nicely spread out.
How come?
Any better way to do it?
Thanks in advance.
