Great, thanks for the tip! I will look for them the next time I am in an Asian market!

Wow, thanks so much for the educational information. No WONDER the palm sugar here is so different: it must just be the Thai kind. I love that popping effect of the sugar. Maybe I'll try hunting for "gula melaka" and see if I can find some here in the States. Thanks so much for the helpful info!

I'm not sure. I've never tried it.

Agreed - the food in Southeast Asia is unreproducible in the US partly because we just can't access all those tropical ingredients. It's never as good or fresh. Furthermore, there are just fewer Singaporean / Malaysian restaurants here right now.

How often do you get to go back?

Hi Sum Joan,
Thanks for the kind offer! Wow, reading since 2010?? That's soon after this blog (as "Tiny Urban Kitchen") started! Thanks for being such a loyal reader all these years. :) I loved Singapore and I would totally be up for going back. Thanks for offering to show me around. It's so cool to know people all around the world because of this blog. :)

Hi Aparna!
Thanks so much for your kind comment! Yes, if I ever go to Mumbai I will definitely reach out. I think Bryan got to visit Mumbai a bit during his trip. He showed me photos from a food market visit. :)

Wow, thanks for the long list! I've never been to any of those places. Time to plan an eating trip to SF!

Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I miss Italy already and seriously am considering planning another trip there, soon!

I'm long overdue for an SF visit! One of my friends has been telling me to go to State Bird Provisions. Other than that, I don't know much else about the best places to eat in SF. :)

Ha ha, I have no idea how they do the wrapper thing. Seriously, I believe what you mean about "so many other things . . ." It took us two years to try this place, and it's so close to home!

If you speak Japanese you could try calling them yourself to make a reservation. Otherwise, does your credit card company have a concierge service?

Hmmmm, are you using mini muffin tins or big ones? Unfortunately I'm not sure exactly how many you can make. Maybe 12 with the full recipe? As for halving three eggs, you can beat it all together first and then pour out half the volume? Best of luck. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Ooh, you're right. MAN you have good eyes! (or just really good attention to detail!). Thanks! I'll update the post.

Hi Cindy,

The recipe for the pumpkin butter mochi is sort of hidden in this post.

Just search for the term ""Alternate Pumpkin Mochi Cake recipe."

Hi Channon,
Thanks for letting me know. I think it's BlogHer's new format of ads that they are experimenting with. I think you can click away the box by clicking on the little "x" in the upper right hand corner. I'm always looking around for better ad options, so if I find a better one maybe I can get rid of those boxes!

Thanks! I do plan on trying to make the original kale chip recipe with nutritional yeast. That's cool you can sprinkle it on virtually anything to add flavor and vitamins. :)

:) I love having a long weekend to celebrate my anniversary every year, hee hee. :) My birthday is in the middle of dark November, so not nearly as fun.

Re: 13th Anniversary Weekend Trip

Jennifer Che — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 02:15:20 -0000

Oh wow, Happy Birthday! No, it wasn't intrusive at all. It was an honor - thank you. We were there celebrating our anniversary that night, so I guess your birthday is the same day as our anniversary? :) 9/1?
