Oh dear... this time round, soak it completely in water until the clay completely turns a darker shade before using. That might help.

Victoria Street has plenty! Cheap too!
I'm sure you can find it cheap in Boxhill as well.
Honeymousey, the Golden Tofu brand of dao huay is very nice! I found it to be nicer than the dim sum restaurant's!
It's only AUD 2.00 for a large tub! Hehe!!
Only thing is, I don't like the syrup that comes with it. It looks more like molasses and it has a faint whiff of ginger.
Heng ah I added a wee bit nia!

Is it a packet you have to make it yourself?

Nooooo! It's ready made in a large tub! Think you can find it in the refrigerated foods section of most Asian grocery shops. Don't forget to take the little tub of sugary syrup when you buy it.
I went to look at the label as I ate... it's 600 g of tao huay for AUD 2.00 nia! ![]()
Don't buy that brand's dao huay chwee though! I prefer another brand's.

I know..... I usually prefer savoury stuff to sweet but every now and then I just have cravings for some sweet things like fairy floss.....
honeymousey, did I tell you that two or three weeks ago, I bought my very first corkscrew? ![]()
And I've found the first Aussie wine that I truly enjoy! Brown Brothers'Orange Muscat & Flora.
Comes in 375 mls bottles and it's sooooo fragrant! You can really smell the ripe Orange Muscat and Flora grapes!!
I bought it to celebrate the completion of my Bibliography. Maybe tomorrow to buy another bottle to celebrate completion of Case Study! ![]()

I did??

Neither... I like my Choya, esp the Golden Honey one which they don't import here.
I also like the Korean Pomegranate wine.

I always wait for their Clearance Sales.
Four because then you can dress up and change your style.
I selected one cream babydoll trench coat, one raspberry satin, one cobalt blue satin, and one ruby red large collared one. ![]()
I think I will keep a look out for a black leather one too. Completes the wardrobe. ![]()

My clothes are not nice right now. They are all basic so it's time to slowly improve my wardrobe. ![]()
Next Autumn, I'm going to get my first pair of thigh-high boots too. This season, I only got the tinier boots.
