Colored sugar cystals

If you like yema balls and you want to give away boxes of them for Christmas gifts, you can turn plain yema balls into festive eye candy in two ways.

1. Add a few drops of food color and flavor extracts (like pandan and melon); or

2. Roll the yema balls in colored sugar crystals.

If you’re curious about colored sugar, I buy mine from Living Well (Wilton brand). They’re pretty inexpensive but if you really want to cut on the cost, you can make your own by following the instructions here, here or here.

I'm not really sure about the spelling of the dish. Hofan? Hofun? Ho fun? The dish itself is beef chow fun but most Chinese restaurants simply list it in the menu as beef hofan or beef hofun. Whatever the spelling, here's a recipe for the the best beef hofun ever!

    Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
