Finally, I have pushed myself to bake some tau sar piah tonight. I have been putting off the idea of baking it for quite a few days. The greenbean filling has been sitting in the fridge waiting for me to use them. Haiz ... sometimes I just needed to be pushed.
Used the savory yolk mooncake recipe for the skin as it is nice and crispy. The filling is sweet and salty at the same time. Something that I like. Sharing with you my tau sar piah.

Hi Hugbear
For your pandan chiffon cake, can i use self-raising flour?
can omit cream of tartar as i don't have any and is vegetable oil suitable to replace corn oil because that is all the ingredients i have left.
Thanks!
Hi Lee Lee, the tau sar piah looks so cute! Very round and even in shape. Are these sweet or slightly savoury like the M'sian 'Dan Wen Bing'?
Hi everyone. Rei, yes it is like the Malaysian Dan Wen Bing but this time round my filling was a little too wet. My younger son refused to eat it. He prefers the filling drier. Hahaha
Hi hug bear
perhaps u have overlooked my queries,would like to try the receipe for pandan chiffon cake, hope u can answer my queries above.
Sorry to trouble you!
Hi Lee,
Looks yum yum. Thank You for sharing a new way of doing the pastry. What is ur opinion if I change shortening to Canola oil. Will it affect taste?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amy, if you want to use oil for making tau sar piah, let me post another recipe which is the original recipe for the tau sar piah.
Hi Anonymous, sorry for the oversight. I have replied to your questions on pandan chiffon cake already.

Thank You for being my on-line shi fu. Appreciate LOTS!

Hi Hugbear
Thanks.
i tried the pandan cake but i couldn't get it right, the batter was quite watery n the whole cake did not raise.
have used self-raising flour n omit the baking powder.
The outer of the cake was quite hard n the inner part was totally unbake.
i can't mix the egg white, 30gm sugar, salt n tartar to stiff, is that what went wrong?
Hi anonymous, the eggwhite was not beaten to stiff that is why you batter is watery and the cake cannot rise.
Make sure your mixing bowl is clean and oil free when you are beating the eggwhite. Beat eggwhite and cream of tartar at high speed until foamy then slowly add in sugar. Continue to beat at high speed until eggwhite is stiff. When you overturn the bowl, the eggwhite doesn't drop out. If you can't get your eggwhite right you can never get the chiffon cake to bake well.
Hi Lee,
Thank you for sharing the savory pastry recipe. It taste super yummy!
But I did encounter difficulty...need your advice to improve on the flaky dough? It was far too crumbly to handle. After I roll them into ball and adding shortening dough, I can only flatten once and add my mung bean paste immediately. If I try to roll up pastry like a swiss roll it crumbles and it becomes totally unmanageable.
Note: I did omit sugar for shortening dough bcos did not add egg yolk, wonder if this change affected the dough?
Thanks in advance,
