Erm...when my mum makes these, she stir till the mixture is warm through rather than hot before pouring into the plastic cups. Sounds less hazardous???
That's what I told my mom but she says if you use the better quality plastic cups its alright because the surface forms a film quite quickly. *shrugs* I tried telling my mom.
Hey i wanna make this...
Already bought the ingredients, making them this weekend :P
can i confirm this recipe uses 12.5g agar powder with 2 litre water (soy milk + water) ?
Coz my agar powder packet written to mix with 1 litre of water
Hello Simonne,
That's the amount I used and it still sets alright. :)
But if you're using a different agar-agar powder brand it might be different so I'm not to sure about that. I used the Pearl Mermaid brand. :)
Hi Sammi,
Mine doesn't set well (uses other brand) , also coz i didnt cook the agar well
Trying again now using Pearl Brand agar :P
Hope yours will work out using the right brand. :)
love this dessert, thanks for the recipe.
love this dessert. thanks for the recipe.
Sammi,
I've finally tried again using Pearl Mermaid Brand agar powder. My agar -agar set well hehe but hor I find that the texture is a little firm.
So now making another batch (2 tsp 1 litre water + 200g evaporated milk +100g sugar) waiting for the results...
Simonne,
Glad to know it set this time around and good luck with your new batch! :)
how long can it last in fridge before it spoils? thanks..

Thank you. (:
loveebaby & William: It should be good for about a month or so. :)
wow.. I want to try it this week!!
Can I double the content (2L Soy, 1 packet agar2 powder, 500g c/sugar, 3L water, 800ml e/milk & 2 tin longan)? Or is it better not to do this?
It tastes good! I have tried it twice and wish to change the flavour this time. Can I replace Soya with Pandan? How much pandan should I add in?
Thanks :D
Shirley,
Sorry I couldn't reply you earlier because there seem to be an error. Glad it turned out well! :) I've never tried adding pandan flavour but I suppose you can substitute some of the liquid with pandan juice which is just pandan leaves blended in water then strain.
More pandan juice if you wan't stronger pandan flavour. Alternatively, use pandan essence. :)
Ohh.. I had a terrible internet connection 6 days ago...! Besides, I tried replace Soya with Pandan (around 8 leaves) juice, and with Milo (3-4 big spoons) the 2nd day. They taste great!! I love it!! Thx Samantha for sharing this recipe!!
Hi Shirley,
Haha! Interesting flavours you came up with. No problem. Glad you like the recipe. :)
Hi! May I know where can I get that Pearl Mermaid agar agar powder?
Hi Jas,
You should be able to get it at a market shops or maybe even some convenient stores. :)
