Just made these! Tweaked the recipe a little: I used 180ml of butterfly pea water and did not add in food colouring at the last step. They turned out looking like how it should look like, but they were very dense and sticky. Quite a strong flour smell too. Would try adding vanilla essence next time :)
In Malaysia, they say the most important thing when making "huat kueh" is no nonsense talk in the kitchen; that means no comments such as, "Oh, have you beaten the such-and-such sufficiently?", "I think the steam is not hot enough". Talk like that is *sure* to make the cake flop spectacularly, hence the superstition of which "huat kueh" is fraught with. In practical terms, children are definitely out of bounds in the kitchen for this cake! If the cake turns out with a split into four on the top, it's an especially auspicious sign called a "laughing mouth".
Chef Michael , I remembered when I was little I have eaten something like that but we use to eat it with orange sugar and shredded coconut is it the same as this? Thanks
Hello Michael Lim, I don't know if you read comments on older videos. but I'm having some trouble with the recipe. they didn't fluff the way they did with you. I think it might be my baking powder. what are the components in your baking powder?
Hi Michael , is it necessary to put in sugar, if i use rice flour or self rising flour as i have tried several time and the results turned out either sticky or do not split on the top. Please advise . TQ
A million clap for you Michael Lim.Your recipe video is the only One that trusted to be done perfectly.as long to follow the measurements.Keep it Up and looking for more videos 👍👏👏👏
Hi michael i change the water with brown sugar coconut syrup insteed of water 180ml and i steam in one bowl it become hard not soft. may i know why please, thanks
Chef +Michael Lim, I notice the batter in your recipe is about enough for 6-8pcs, (or like 1 time steaming process). If I want to make more Huat Cakes, since I have a big family, can I just double or triple the recipe per steaming? I don't think my pot will fit more than 8 pcs in one go. I understand the use of BP and I am afraid that if I have to wait about 20mins between steaming, the bubbles will deflate ... so which is best, double the recipe and queuing steaming or start new batter each time? Thanks! PS: I love your recipes
I made it today. I use self rising flour and reduced the baking powder to 2tsp. It came out like yours but taste wise, not that nice. Thx for sharing. Perhaps I can add some vanilla essence to it next time.
Hello! I love all your videos ... they are AMAZING! Thanks! :) Kisses & hugs for you ... as your little big angel (this small friend you have & is so lovely)
Good evening! i tried this recipe though i used All-Purpose Flour as plain flour ingridient and the result were first, it did not bloom, secondly, after 2 hours the bread stuck onto cupcake paper to the point that either the bread or the paper was torn apart, thirdly, the bread did not achieved the softness (or fluffyness) when it cooled. Hope to hear from you as i do really hope to redeem this recipe.
I have tried other huat kueh recipes and failed. When I chanced upon your channel, I was very hopeful. I viewed the clip several times before going ahead to bake. But I failed too. Cake didnt rise at all. I followed your every step. Do I need to set aside the baking powder solution to proof after adding to the batter? What can go wrong? Please enlighten me🙏. Thank you
I'm new to your channel and i get to like ur videos because they're easy to follow. I subscribed to your channel just recently and i make sure i watch your videos daily. Good luck and more power!
Thank you for sharing. 😊 I will try it. just wondering.... is there a reason why the 3tbsp of water and baking soda are at the end of making the cake batter? can the baking soda be sifted together with the flour?
How about rice cake? Using rice flour is so difficult for me, it is so heavy, so difficult to rise... i tried it and see different sites and channels a hundred times but its unsuccessful. Can i request for rice cake recipe? Can you make it? Thank you. And what is your facebook account? I have a pics of those cupcakes and i want to post it in your wall..
新年快樂, 恭喜發財, 萬事如意! ☺
Happy Chinese New Year!

Try ENO, or maybe the way u steam can effect the blooming of the cake too
Thank you so much Chef Michael..🤗
Its PUTO in the Philippines. We use Rice flour for that steamed cake. 😊

PS: I love your recipes
In that case, is better to prepare new batter each time. It doesn't take long to mix a new batter. Good luck and success.
Can use brown sugar?
Can i replace water to evaporated milk ?
Hi chef can i just add the baking powder to the flour instead?

When it didn't bloom, it is because of your baking powder is too old. If it didn't bloom, of course there is no softness and fluffiness.
@@michaellim thank you for hearing me sir, may i know the life span of baking powder once a packet is opened?
Wondering how adding butter would affect the consistency?
هذه لوحة جميلة ....👏👏
This is perfect for auspicious day offerings.
at 8:34... the only sound ever to be heard uttered by Mr Lim... hehe
Can you show the can of baking powder please
Thanks fot the recipi.I made it. It was succful. But the tast was a bit wird. Maybe bcz it's my fist time testing a vaporised cake.

It most likely the baking powder, try buying a fresh pack of baking powder.
@@michaellim ok, I will try another batch. By the way, this baking powder still has a year shelf life. Thank you, Chef Michael
baking powder is one of those things you can’t rely on the expiry date.
I'm new to your channel and i get to like ur videos because they're easy to follow. I subscribed to your channel just recently and i make sure i watch your videos daily. Good luck and more power!
