Hello Wendy,
I have tried replicating the chinese restaurant style fried chicken pieces at home but I'm unable to get the crispy texture. I use cornflour to coat but it is not the same. Do you have any tips or recipe to share? Thank you.


  Wendy          Edit    Del

I'm not sure which kind of fried chicken you're looking for.... Do you have a name of the dish?

You'll get different kind of results depending on what kind of coating you use:
In this Taiwanese Salty-Crispy Chicken, I use yam starch (sweet potato starch).

this
fried chicken leg, I use all-purpose flour:

of
above are crispy~
Or if you have the name of the dish that you're learning to make, maybe I can have a better idea on how to make it.^^

Wendy, Thanks for your reply. Yes it looks like the tawianese crispy chicken. I didn't know can use sweet potato starch for coating. I learn something new today. Is it possible to share this recipe? Thanks. :-)


  Wendy          Edit    Del

No problem!
I'll translate the recipe for you. ^^

Hello Wendy,
Thanks again for English site. I have a question, hope you don't mind. I have come across swiss roll recipes that uses egg separation method (whip egg yolk and egg white separately) versus the whole egg method. May I know what is the difference in the cake outcome? Thanks.


  Wendy          Edit    Del

Cakes using egg-separation method should be more fluffy in texture and easier to make as well. To beat whole eggs completely, it takes longer time and more efforts, but the texture will be silky and soft, I guess it's worth the efforts.^^

Wow your cakes look amazing! I'm Chinese but I can't read much Chinese so this site is great. love to cook and craft too! My mom reads your Chinese site all the time and loves to try out your desserts. I was just thinking about making the sweet taro with sago soup today and was lucky enough to see that you have it translated! Thanks so much and keep translating more recipes! You're an inspiration to me.


  Wendy          Edit    Del

Hi, Wendy. I'm so excited about this website. So much to see! It's just what I have wanted---real detailed recipes and discussion pages with people enthusiastic about working magic in the kitchen.
What amazed me most was you had least cooking experience until you came to the States years ago. Wow~~~ a pro now!
I also admire the way you establish your website---more than just cooking. It is a website I must visit again.
Thank you for all the excellent work and Happy New Year to you and your family, especially Arielle. She is sooooooo pretty!!!


  Wendy          Edit    Del

Thank you for visiting my site, Grace!
I'm glad that you enjoy the work I did for this site. If you have any improvement ideas, please feel free to let me know!

Thanks again for the comments~^_^

Hi Wendy,

I recently discovered your website through a friend. Your cakes are so beautiful, it's amazing that you've only been cake decorating for a few years! My question is, what is the secret to piping perfect little royal icing dots on the sides of the cake without leaving behind little peaks where you lift the pastry bag? Thanks!!


  Wendy          Edit    Del

Hi, JC~
Thanks for stopping by!

For piping little dots, you need to release the pressure when you're about to finish the piping, so that the icing won't come out too much and leave a small "tail" to the dot. Also, you need to pause for 1 second while your tip is still attached with the dot, and then turn the tip a little bit and then slide and remove it to avoid the forming the tiny "tail". This way, the icing inside of your tip is not pushing out, and it will keep the closure clean and neat.
These are just some tips I have for piping. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

Happy decorating! ^^

Wendy,

I am one of your fans and I really like the birthday cakes you made for friend and your daughter. My daughter 's first birthday is coming, and I am wondering you can take the order to make a cake for her. If you like to take the order, can you give a price list for the birthday cake if possible?

Thanks.

Momo's mother.


  Wendy          Edit    Del

When do you need the cake? Where are you now?
I'm in NJ of USA. So, if you're in the same state, maybe it will be easier to deliver the cake.
The price will vary greatly according to the design... normally, I would ask for the budget first, and then design the cake within your budget.

But, as a reminder, this kind of cake is normally more expensive than butter-cream or whipped cream cake because of the higher material costs.

I just sent you an email~ ^^

Currently, I translate the recipes by requests.... if anyone requests for recipes to be translated here, I will do it first because translating ALL recipes will be a hugh work for me, so I'll do it gradually.... not all at once.

Since you asked, I will translate the two recipes for you. Please come back in few days~^^

Home made stuff is always better than what you can have in a restaruant, right? :-)


  sharon          Edit    Del

Yup. Home made food always the best. :) At least can control the amount stuff going into it. Wendy, Thanks again for the recipe. :)

Wendy,
I find your comments to your guest very contrary.
Why?! I have visited your English site with no difficulties until lately.
Why?! You told Miyuki and other guests of your web site that you've did 12 receipes when in fact most of them are already translated in English?!
Why?! Many receipes that are translated in English are now deleted.
Kris


  Wendy          Edit    Del

Are you saying that you have problems visiting this site? What kind of problem is that?

Currently, I have 14 recipes translated to English here. Most of them are under Western Desserts.
As for other recipes categories, you might see an error message when you click the category, if there is no recipes inside.

I didn't delete the recipes.... Or you may scroll the "updates" block on home page to see the recipe links for an easier access.

Sorry if this causes any inconvenience for you.^^
