Dear Isabella,
Thanks for sharing your personal stories about your mum and learning to cook. My grandma didn’t cook much in her last years too so these are really memories from my childhood past too. All the best.

Dear Donald,
If I come across a chun piah recipe in my grandmother’s notes one day, I’ll put it up on this blog. Meanwhile, good luck in your search for a suitable recipe.

Dear Niceties,

I came across your blog today while looking for a recipe for ladies fingers. What struck me was the hand-written recipes that your grandma left behind. It reminds me so much of my mum and it’s made me so sad ‘cos my mum now suffers from dementia. Her handwriting was so similar to your grandma’s – each letter so beautifully and carefully written. And like your grandma, she used to scribble down recipes, except they didn’t have precise measurements – it was a little of this, a little of that. I was somewhat frustrated then, but as I began cooking myself, I realised that you can’t really follow everything from a recipe. It is really a lot of agak agak and experience. But she was such a great cook. And I really miss her cooking :(

I came across your site while looking for Chun Piah recipe but was disappointed many relate Chun Piah as Poh Piah.

If you are able to provide this chun Piah recipe I will be most happy> The last time I had this was 35 years ago in Penang at a seaside cafe Hollywood Seafood Rest.

Even my recent trip back to Penang I was able to find a shop that serve this dish.

Appreciate if you could email your Chun Piah recipe to me.

Dear cad,

I’m sorry I have no idea as I have never tried this recipe, in fact I have never made any kind of baked chocolate pudding in my life!

Good luck!
