  2. Spiff ~ They do look like little sombreros. I don't have the guts to make them... takut rosak. The recipe may be simple but it's not easy to make.

  7. Mama Mia ~ Itulah, sia pun mo try buat ba :) Tapi lupa seja mo bili tu bahan2 dia.

    LJ ~ Memang sedaps tapi very the oily and too sweet. Definitely not for the health conscious... hehe

    Oh the shape forms on its own (during frying process)... takyah buat shape pon. susah la nak explain... kalau ada video bagus gak ni tapi tak tau mana nak cari :(

  9. LOL! It's true Susan. My mom used to 'shush' me when I helped her goreng these kueh. I always got so excited to see the 'bunga' forming :)

    Good luck to you, I hope they'll turn out well.
