Puteri Ayu (steamed mini pandan sponge cake) , launch of My Kedai Runcit


The other day i bought these little cute bundt moulds and thinking to use it to make jelly. I was not realized that actually peoples are using this mould to make Puteri Ayu (steamed mini sponge cake). When i saw Amelia dessert posted her Puteri Ayu, i quickly give it a try..Frankly i have never eaten this cake before..Once we tasted this, all my family members were very impressed with this mini steamed sponge cake, the 1st batched i did just gone in the same day, and they were asking for more...

Launch of My Kedai Runcit (Shop)

I have been receiving many readers asking me where to buy this and that. I try to provide them with the shop address but some couldn't go there because the distance or not familiar with the area. Sometime i help to buy for them. ..So i came out with this idea of My Kedai Runcit (shop) I will help to source of the baking items, traditional moulds or whatever items or ingredients that you have seen in my blog. I will pack them and ship to you and you pay for the shipping cost..I know i will not earn much out of this (that's why i called my shop as kedai runcit, earning few cents and ringgit only ^_^), but i just like to help to who has the same passion like me (love to cook and bake!!)..
Please refer to top right page for My Kedai Runcit..Oversea buyers are welcome too, but you need to consider of the shipping cost (afraid the shipping cost is more than items cost) before you decide to place an order..

Happy Shopping !!

I have discontinued My Kedai Runcit, kindly take note..

  35. hi sonia, the kedai runcit idea is awesome...i wanted to ask you where to get the pork skewers thing but already purchased the usual one to see if work or not first. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Sonia, you really need a rest now b4 the biz starts! I certainly believe that you are not doing this for money & you cook.bake is purely due to the interest! I'm so glad to know someone like you, hahaha!

    Hey these mini bundt moulds look so familiar, gagaga! That's right, I remember you told me b4 that they can be used for making jelly only & now I can use them for steaming sponge cake, brilliant!

    1 question, Sonia, if I can't find cake emulsier(& don't want to use it), what should I be using as a substitute?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jessie, you can read my mind, hehehe..I also thinking to omit the emulsier next time to see the difference, so for this moment I could not tell you yet.

  60. Hi!where did you buy the molders you used?can i order?reply back pls

    ReplyDelete
  61. May I ask what is ovelette? And how much to use?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I just came back from a trip to Penang and I picked up this mold at a kitchen supply store - I had never heard of this dessert but I knew it was something different and unique I wouldn't be able to find here in NY. I always like trying new things - thx for the recipe - can't wait to try it!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I finally tried these today and they came out so delicious - thx again for the recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I tried it nut used mini tins instead. Is that why they came out rock hard and not soft. Only steamed it for 10 mins is it right to use 150g of flour. Also. When you blend the cocount milk and pandan. I had only 60 of the liquid left remaining. Is that correct. Thanks
