Hi Su Yin,

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I will try to keep updating this blog regularly until I have completely exhausted grandma’s notebooks :).

Love the culinary academy stories on your blog - plenty to learn from you :).

I absolutely love what you have done. I truly believe in recipes and creations beyond just ingredients. Your blog is full of love, memories and heart warming stories.
I can’t wait to begin trying out the recipes. I’m sure they will take me back to the times where food meant family. Having been away from home for so long makes me appreciate our Malaysian/singaporean cuisine so much more.
I really hope you’ll be keeping this great project of yours up. Looking forward to more recipes from Nice.

Sincerely;
Su

Hi Sharon,

I’m sorry, I don’t know and there’s nothing in my grandmother’s recipe notebooks either.

If you haven’t already seen this book, you may want to refer to “The Chinese Pregnancy and Confinement Cookbook” by Ng Siong Mui (Singapore: Landmark Books, 1990) which is available at many branches of the National Library in Singapore.

Good luck finding an appropriate recipe!

Comment on Plain Scones by niceties

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for reading. Before you try out these scones, my personal opinion on this recipe is that I normally would use more butter than one tablespoon, about 50g worth. Butter will give a lighter and flakier texture. Good luck with your baking!

I’m a French literary translation and I would like to know if there is a specific French equivalent to “yellow cake”.

Many thanks in advance
