Kuih Seri Muka 士丽拇卡蓝花糯米糕


These two weeks has been very tough for many Singaporean. Most of us (Including me a Singapore PR) were sadden by the passing of Singapore's Founding Father the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. This great and visionary leader has contributed greatly on the peace of Southeast Asia and help shape the dynamic economic growth in the region, he has leave behind a legacy for Singaporean. Thank you Mr. Lee for everything you have prepared for us, you are and still will be the giant in my life as you have gave us hope and vision to work hard for our future on a fair ground, now, my son will be proud to call himself a Singaporean... Thank you Mr. Lee! ...Farewell, Rest in Peace. 

Few days ago saw Joceline posted her beautiful Seri Muka and I discovered her recipe is using a portion of tapioca flour which is different from the recipe I used previously. Since I have all ingredients in my pantry I swing into action to make Kuih Seri Muka this morning, clearing some ingredients before I go on my Easter Holiday. 

This is indeed a beautiful recipe as my hubby and son also thumbs up for the springy texture of the top green layer. 

李光耀老先生的过世,好多人都感到愁障伤心。李老先生把他的一生都供献给了新加坡,他对东南亚一带的和平,经济供献大家都有目共睹的。他对家庭,晚妻的爱和照护更是一个让好多人学习的榜样。你是我生命中的巨人,你给了我们一个公平的机会去创建我们的将来,谢谢你! 我的孩子可以骄傲的说他是新加坡人。。。告别了老先生,请安息!

近几天Joceline上了一道漂亮蓝花糯米糕,发现那食谱里用了木薯粉是和我早期的蓝花糯米糕食谱不同的。心想快把家里的材料在复活节假期前处理了才好。我家人都喜欢那QQ的班蓝椰酱层,谢谢你的好食谱Joceline!
