In preparation for Chinese New Year!

Since CNY is just a month away, I am in preparation for it already. Trying out some different patterns to make 'Nian Nian You Yu'. This means abundance fortune or it also means that every year you will always have surplus of fortune.

Last year my 'Nian Nian You Yu' was done using konnayku jelly, which is this one here.

This time round I tried using agar agar powder to make these.

    PP, I am using plastic fish moulds. Are you able to get them in Canada. You need me to send some over to you?

    Hi,

    How did you manage to create such nice fish agar agar?

    Can provide a step by step pic instruction?

    I have always wanted to make one fish agar agar for CNY but have no idea how to go about doing so..

    Anonymous, the big fish moulds are from Phoon Huat. You can go to their website for their locations in Singapore. http://www.phoonhuat.com/
