Yummy, yummy I still got 1 packet of white lotus seeds sitting around since Mooncake festival. LOL
Hi this is one dessert that i couldn't get it off my mind since I was a small child. Its quite impossible to find this anywhere now, I remembered a old lady selling this outside a hawker centre in a big pot on a trolley. Can't wait to cook this myself but the sticky paste with sugar seems tough, hope I won't burn the sugar. Thanks for sharing this recipe
The bicarbonate taste remained on the seeds and made it quite foul-tasting. Can I not use it??
