I'm no...Wow your recipe turned out really good. I'm not sure if you're still answering questions but whenever I try to make this it never turns out right. When the cake is finished steaming it always has a really watery top and my batter is dark like the colour of the yeast. And there isn't the honeycomb structure in it, instead it just looks like white cake. I don't know whether it's my batter or my steaming method since I don't have a steamer ive been putting a metal stand at the bottom of my pot and putting the pan with the batter on top.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541479995800614783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-69916680196306276862017-01-22T00:04:26.518-05:002017-01-22T00:04:26.518-05:00Nessie, the pandan leaves will give a nice fragran...Nessie, the pandan leaves will give a nice fragrant to the kuih.

If you don't mind me asking, can you please tell me how your pak tong koh comes out so white? Doesn't the pandan leaves make the water lightly brown, therefore making the cake not white? Please email me back.

I didn't sieve the flour. If your yeast is old it will be better that you leave it to form before pouring it into the batter. This is just to be sure that it's alive. Yes the oil will surface after you mix it.

T...Hi, was looking for a good Pak Tong Gou recipe. Then I stumbled yr website. With all those positive reviews I tried making it but it did not turn out right. It's edible but it is not soft and springy. A bit on the dense side. Not as white as yours as well. Where do I go wrong here ? 1. Do I need to sieve the flour ? 2. Do I need to wait for the yeast to be foamy first before I add in to the batter? 3. While adding the oil into the batter it still appeared on the surface even I stir to mix it. Is that norm ? Appreciate yr advice on this so I can try again.
