Thank you for the lovely recipe.

Since we only use 80g of the dough starter, can we freeze the balance and use it for further use.

Sorry to say that the balacne of dough starter cannot be kept for later use, but you can use it for other recipes in "Traditional Koh Kuih, Lap Mei & Cookies".

Nice post. I study one thing more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It would at all times be stimulating to read content from different writers and observe a little bit one thing from their store. I’d favor to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing. casino blackjack
