I found this recipe at KC during one of my "inspiration" trips. I had attempted to make this sweet beancurd dessert/"Tau Huay" before but it turned out looking like scrambled eggs. Don't ask. The original or rather, the traditional, recipe asked for the usage of Gypsum Powder. I was a little doubtful of using that but I did it anyway. However THIS particular recipe calls for agar-agar instead which is a more available than the former.
As usual, when a recipe is THAT easy, I HAVE TO DO IT!! Yah...it's almost like an addiction...*sigh*..... soooo....I did it WITH amazing results!! It actually tasted like the real deal! I did the "Tau Huay" as the recipe asked, and as for the syrup, I made a regular simple syrup with a few slices of ginger and a few stalks of pandan leaves/screwpine leaves in it. The final product was terrific. However the next time I make this, I think I'll cut the recipe in half as it turn out it was a little too much for us...hehe....(yah, I was THAT greedy for it!)

sooner or later you'll have learnt all the dishes you miss from home and have no need to miss then anymore hahahaha
I wish! There are some things you can't replaced...
Now...if only I can clone you!!! Mwahahahahha......
Wow, it does look like the real thing! I have not check out the recipe yet, but since you said agar2, will take a look later.
Do you know there is a box mixed tau fu fah that you can buy? Very easy to make and yummy like the real thing too!
I didn't know that they have read to go mix for tau fu fah!!!! geez, I really need to look around more often!!! Well, I'm used to making soya bean milk so this is just another extra step. The only thing I can't do was to make it warm. I like mine warm..hehehe..and when I tried to microwave it a little (just so it's warm), it just became softer and started to "melt" a little...LOL Lucky for my husband, he likes his COLD or rather, CHILLED!! And oh yah...it calls for agar agar!! ;) Can't beat that!
Next time when I make my tau fu fah from the box, I will sure take a picture of the box and blog about it. Haha...me with my lazy short cut method!
