  1. Hi Kimmy,

    I like your idea of adding lemongrass in this tomato chicken dish. It must be extra fragrant with this addition :D

    Btw, regarding your ji dan gao question... I'm surprised to hear that because my cakes didn't shrink much after baking and in fact, I find baking this recipe so much easier than baking ogura cake. How about baking yours slightly longer and see if they are more stable with lesser liquid content?

  3. Hi Kimmy,

    Just realised that Jessie has a lot of troubles baking her ji dan guo and finally made it. This is her post, http://jessie-cookingmoments.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/the-very-chiffony-matcha-cocoa.html

    Hope that it helps.

  6. Hi Zoe, I'll try the Baked Ji Dan Gao again. Taste wise is good but texture not as soft and moist as Ogura. Thanks.

  9. Hi Ann, I love to prepare this kind of flavoursome dishes then I didn't have to cook other dishes. Just one meat and vegetable dish with rice makes a complete meal for the family.

  11. Hi Phong Hong, adding lemongrass is like adding another aroma to the dish.
