- How to make Blue Soon Kueh or Steam Dumpling Teochew Style?
A Blue Soon Kueh - "Blue Dumplings" Teochew Style by Jackie M Look at these glistening beauties, beckoning you to love them. I don’t know about you but, we absolutely adore them. We used to have them as a mid-day snack and you could find them at almost every other market. These days, you’ll have to specially make a trip down to a bigger market In Malaysia or Singapore just to get some or get Jackie M to specially make you these very special "Blue Soon Kueh". Kueh means - “cake” in Malaysia or Singapore. We guess – “Soon” means bamboo and its not easy finding these gems in Sydney so Jackie has improvised the recipe for all to enjoy. Soon Kueh, literally meaning bamboo cake is the pride of all Teochews, a very popular classic snack back in Malaysia and Singapore. Traditionally, these are made with bamboo shoots, bangkwang (also known as yam bean/jicama or Mexican turnip), shiitake mushroom and dried shrimps. Also another possibility is due to localization and the availability of cooking ingredients or influenced by the Hakka’s Cai Kuih or vegetable rice cake, most stores that sell this are using jicama as the main ingredients. Some stores are selling Soon Kueh with fillings such as Chinese chives or even salted vegetables. Blue Butterfly Soon Kueh, a Teochew delicacy from Chaosan, China to Malaysia Sorry, some of the ingredients or words here are a tongue-twister for us here in Australia but for my wife, oh well she’s truly a "Teochew girl" from Malaysia. And Jackie M - how good are you to have this specialty on live stream so we're thinking this “Blue Soon Kueh” will soon be a sought after entrée. It just stands out against the normal dumplings! Watch the live stream below and then turn your hand to making your own “Blue Soon Kueh” – “Glistening Beauties” – yum! You can see how easy it is to use the Blue Butterfly Powder adding it into the flour mixture and control the colour that you want. You do not need to boil sundried flowers and the agony of not knowing the final colour is avoided. Saves you lots of time too - just open the packet and pour or sprinkle some powder into your mixture. Watch the livestream by Jackie M - so easy.

I'm reaching out to you to ask if you would consider supporting Jackie M in her petition to be able to keep her Down Syndrome toddler, Noah, with her when she runs her business. For years now, malicious anonymous campaigners have tried to have him removed on the basis of his special needs. In this latest incident, someone called the police under the guise of child welfare concerns; the police came and investigated and found that Jackie did nothing wrong. Jackie believes, as we do, that children have every right to stay with their parents if they are not disruptive or in any danger. Noah loves being outdoors at the markets and the community loves having him there.

- WHY IS THE BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER EFFECTIVE? - by Dr Al Sears :
Clitoria Ternatea - Brewing your favourite Butterfly Pea flower tea: BLUE IS THE NEW BLACK ! - Clitoria Ternatea or Butterfly Pea Flower or Bunga Telang is native to Malaysia & Indonesia although it has found its way into other tropical countries and in Australia too. This is a study by Dr Al Sears, MD Florida, USA - America's #1 Anti-Aging Pioneer - read the whole story below :- If you have been following my story, you know I love traveling. One reason is I love to explore. Another reason? I love to eat! One of the great things about traveling the world is getting to sample the local cuisine. When I was living with the Guarani tribe in Peru, I drank beer made of yucca root that the native women spit into the ground and let ferment. I ate raw worms and grubs. I’ve eaten the “Food of the Gods” in the Amazon. An incredible fruit called cupuaçu that tastes like a heavenly blend of chocolate and vanilla.I’ve sampled so many unusual foods that it’s hard to surprise me. But that’s exactly what happened in Bali when I was served “blue rice” topped with coconut for dessert. It was so bright and vivid I thought it had to be food coloring. And it was. Sort of. The brilliant blue color came from the butterfly pea plant. Double petal Butterfly Pea or Clitoria Ternate The flowers of the butterfly pea are the most spectacular of all the flowers in Bali. And that’s no small feat!MY FRIEND LELIR, A “BALIAN” KNOWN AS A LOCAL HEALER ON THE ISLAND OF BALI, GROWS HER FAVORITE FLOWER IN HER OWN GARDEN. But as I learned from my friends Westi and Lelir, the butterfly pea plant is beloved in Bali for much more than its beauty.The Balinese call it “Bunga telang.” It comes from the Indonesian words meaning having clear vision. Traditional herbalists on Bali use the roots to cure eye ailments and the flowers to cure eye infections like conjunctivitis, or “pink eye. ”CONJUNCTIVITIS But that’s just the beginning. Bunga telang is a medicinal mainstay in Balinese culture. I was amazed when Lelir told me about all the different ways the Balinese use it. So I decided to do some research of my own. And what I found only added to my amazement. I included the butterfly pea in my book Healing Herbs of Bali, but the truth is I could have written an entire book just on this one plant! WHY IS THE BUTTERFLY PEA EFFECTIVE? 1) Butterfly Pea is one of the few plants that has cyclotides in it. These are peptides that have anti-tumor properties and cause cancer cell death because they can penetrate the cancer cell membrane. A recent study in China found butterfly pea to be very effective against certain lung cancer cell lines. Other studies have shown that a powder made from the ground-up leaves of the butterfly pea can enhance memory and brain power. 2) ENHANCE-MEMORY-BRAIN-POWER - A team of researchers in India found that butterfly pea increases the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.3 Acetylcholine is important for communication in your brain. And it’s one of the brain chemicals that decreases the most as you age. 3) ACETYlCHOLINE-PATHWAY - How does the butterfly pea improve your thinking? The less of it you have, the slower the messages will travel in your brain. They might even break down and stop traveling altogether. Low acetylcholine levels can cause loss of memory and coordination as you get older. Butterfly pea improves your thinking and balance naturally because it reverses this process. 4) EFFECTS OF BUTTERFLY PEA Here are just a few of the other healing properties of the butterfly pea plant: *Lowers blood pressure *Anti-anxiety *Anti-asthmatic *Pain relievingIt’s like a full-stop natural drugstore in one gorgeous little plant. *Anti-oxidants *Anti-inflammatory Butterfly Pea tea - serve it hot or cold Butterfly Pea with ginger and lemongrass = YUM The link to Dr Al Sears M.D. notes attached.

- Tri-Colour Blue Mousse Magic
YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST - BLUE MOUSSE - Now here's how you make it Definition of mousse : 1 : a light spongy food usually containing cream or gelatin 2 : a moulded chilled dessert made with sweetened and flavoured whipped cream or egg whites and gelatin chocolate mousse 3 : a foamy preparation used in styling hair Definition No 3 for me is a No-no....... me ain't gonna eat no styling mousse! Mousse for me is the ultimate fancy-pants dessert—at least ever since someone explained to me the difference between moose and mousse (both are impressive, but one is decidedly more delicious). There are lots of different kinds (including tons of wonderfully simple versions with only a few ingredients), but the traditional method is worth learning because it’s so versatile. Since the recipe has so few ingredients, basic tweaks can yield dozens of different flavour combinations. The sky’s the limit for creating your own custom mousse recipe. Three-layered Blue Mousse Butterfly Pea Mousse recipe INGREDIENTS *300ml thickened cream *1 1/2 cups thickened cream *3 eggs, separated *1/4 cup caster sugar *2 gelatin leaves *1 punnet of strawberries *1 punnet of blueberries *2 teaspoons vanilla essence *½ (to 1 teaspoon depending on your desired colour) Blue Butterfly Pea Powder *½ (to 1 teaspoon depending on your desired colour) Red Roselle Powder *1 lime or lemon or grapefruit juice, slices of lime to garnish Edible flowers to garnish (Butterfly Pea flower, if available or Pansies/Nasturtiums are just fine) Mint leaves to garnish Dreamy Tri-colour Mousse METHOD • Step 1 Dilute Blue Butterfly Pea Powder in tepid water – rest for 15 mins Dilute Red Roselle Powder in tepid water – rest for 15 mins Dilute gelatin leaves in some hot water Blend strawberries and blueberries separately and keep aside • Step 2 Using an electric mixer, beat cream & sugar and diluted gelatin for 2 to 3 minutes until soft peaks form Put egg whites in a clean bowl and whisk with an electric whisk. Add a pinch of sugar. Start to whisk and add a squeeze of lemon, this will stop the egg whites from splitting and going watery... Fold in the egg whites to the cream mix Split the beaten cream & egg whites into 3 different bowls • Step 3 Add vanilla essence into Bowl 1 and the diluted blue butterfly pea powder. Beat to combine and smooth and blue colour is even. In the Bowl 2 – add the lime juice and blue butterfly powder and the blended blue berries. Whisk to combine and see the colour changes to lovely purple. Add the blended strawberries and diluted red roselle powder into Bowl 3 with the balance of the cream. Whisk lightly to combine and smooth. • Step 4 Layer the mousse pink, purple and blue in long serving glasses, finishing with crispy pancake or a wafer. Garnish with a slice of lime , mint leaves and edible flowers. Put in the fridge for 4-6 hours or over night! Will last for a couple of days! Butterfly Pea Tea with Lemongrass & Ginger = Yum! PRO TIP : (1) The mousse must set in the refrigerator before it can be served, which will most likely take 15 to 30 minutes. If you’re layering the mousse, each layer must set before you add the next. The same is true of using the mousse in a cake: The mousse must set before you can un-mould and finish the cake. (2) The mousse will keep for a few days, which makes it an excellent make-ahead dessert. ABOUT JIMMY : This recipe and photos are courtesy of Chef Jimmy, Jim's Cuisine.

Did You Know we will look at Mousse fun facts. Mousse Fun Facts: Mousses are almost always cold dishes, sweet mousses sometimes being served frozen. Savoury mousses are frequently prepared from poultry, foie gras, fish, or shellfish, to be eaten as a first course or light entree. They may be stabilised by the addition of gelatin. Chocolate and mocha mousse are sometimes made with a custard base. For a fruit mousse, pureed fruit or juice replaces the milk in the custard. • The word “mousse” is the French word for “froth” or “foam”. A fitting name for this light, fluffy, and decadent confection. • Mousse is pronounced “moose.” It is in no way associated with the animal. • April 3rd and May 2nd are National Chocolate Mousse Day. • November 30th is National Mousse Day. • Savoury mousse dishes were an 18th century French achievement. Dessert mousses (generally fruit mousses) began to appear much later, in the second half of the 19th century. • The first written record of chocolate mousse in the United States comes from a Food Exposition held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1892. • Chocolate mousse really came into the public eye in the U.S. in the 1930’s, about the time as chocolate pudding mixes were introduced. • Whipped cream can be substituted for egg whites in a mousse recipe.

- Pulut Tai Tai - A Classic Nyonya Kuih with a Beautiful Blue Hue
How to make Pulut Tai-Tai using Blue Butterfly Pea Powder? Pulut Tai Tai is such a popular teatime dessert. It is also known as Kuih Pulut Tekan which carries the meaning of compressed glutinous rice. One of the important steps in making Pulut Tekan is to apply weight onto the steamed cooked glutinous rice to make it firm. The firmer the kuih, the better the texture. This petite looking Nyonya Kuih has the famous bright blue colour tinted on the kuih. This simple yet elegant Nyonya delight is also a traditional Nyonya wedding specialty, a MUST have in any Peranakan wedding (refer Notes below). Commonly served as a dessert or a delicacy during the Straits Chinese wedding, this 'kuih' is made of glutinous rice steamed in coconut milk and compacted in a wooden frame to be cut into desired shapes. The vibrant blue in certain parts of the glutinous rice enhances the beauty of this 'kuih', known also as 'Pulut Tai Tai' for its elegant outlook. 'Tai Tai' refers to rich man's wife's who lives a life of leisure. The contrasting colour of the coconut jam/'kaya' together with the vibrant blue and white of the glutinous rice makes this 'kuih' delightful and pleasing to the eyes. It tastes equally good with either the pandan-flavoured or the usual brown 'kaya'. The slight tinge of saltiness from the glutinous rice coupled with the sweetness of the 'kaya' makes this 'kuih' a delight to savour. Note - The Peranakans were also known as Straits Chinese as they were usually born in the British-controlled Straits Settlements of Singapore, Penang and Malacca. During colonial times, they were also known as the King’s Chinese in reference to their status as British subjects after the Straits Settlements became a Crown colony in 1867. Pulut Tai Tai by Sweet Rita - Best Selling Kueh Pulut Tai Tai recipe by Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh This Pulut Tai-Tai recipe is contributed by Rita Enar, our "Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh", based in Sydney. She started her kueh making business a few years ago with very small capital and has since grown because of the quality of her food and her passion. Rita was from Borneo of a closed knit family; whenever there was a function, everyone had to cook and always ate together. She loved Nyonya Kuehs and Peranakan food thus the beginning of her journey into food. She told us herself prior to the arrival of the our Blue Butterfly Powder, she used to boil the butterfly pea flowers to extract its colour. It’s tedious and time consuming – not knowing or having to estimate how many flowers and you can’t “control” the concentration of the blue colour extract you require. Not to mention if you were to make 1,000 pieces of kuih or a large quantity of Nyonya Bak Changs – you can boil the flowers the whole night long just to extract its colour. Making kuih is simpler and quicker now and healthier too – just sprinkle some powder onto the rice and steam or if you prefer to dilute in water and stir into the rice – all in all 3-5 minutes! PULUT TAI TAI RECIPE INGREDIENTS (A) *820g glutinous rice (soaked overnight) *1 tspn of Blue Butterfly Pea Powder (to your desired colour) - dissolve in 3 tbsp warm water *A few pieces banana leaf (B) *760 ml thick coconut milk by diluting 2 packs of Spargo Mills Coconut Milk Powder into warm water *1 tbsp @my.blue.tea Pandan Powder *2 tsp salt METHOD 1. Dissolve 1 tspn of Blue Butterfly Powder in 3-4 tablespoons of water - let it rests 2. Mix soaked glutinous rice with Ingredients B and let it rest for 10 minutes. 3. Steam the rice over high heat for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix well with chopsticks. 4. Stir in Blue Butterfly Powder liquid into the cooked rice, mix well giving it a nice marble like creation and steam it for 5 minutes 5. Line a 19cm square tin with banana leaves. Spoon cooked Blue rice and white rice into the tin. 6. Cover the rice with banana leaf and place a heavy object on top to compress the rice - traditionally a mortar is used in the Peranakan household. 7. Set it aside to cool completely before cutting into pieces. Serve with Kaya (Coconut spread/jam) Have a cup of Blue Tea with Longan or Pandan Coconut Shake or a cup of Blue Goddess with your Pulut Tai Tai KAYA or COCONUT JAM “Kaya” – an Asian Caramel Coconut Jam – Coconut jam (Malay: kaya; Indonesian: seri kaya, srikaya; Hokkien: 咖吔 ka-ia) is a food spread or fruit curd made from a base of coconut milk, eggs and sugar. It is wildly popular in Southeast Asia, mainly in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, and in Palembang in Indonesia. You can either make your own “Kaya” at home or pick it up from any Asian grocery store if you’re short on time. I’ll admit—I used to have a bit of “Kaya-Phobia” ! My mum, however, makes the most beautiful Kaya: rich, silky, and a gorgeous golden color (nothing like those greenish, lumpy versions you sometimes see). Back in the day, she’d have us sit by the stove, stirring and stirring for hours in a “Milo” tin placed over a pot of hot water (a double-boil method). Let’s just say, after all that, I’ve had my fill of Kaya—thanks, Mum! 😅 If you’re not up for making it yourself, you can grab some delicious Kaya from Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh . She offers both Caramel Coconut and Pandan Coconut Kaya . Enjoy! 🥥 ✨ Kaya or Coconut Spread If you wish to savour this Pulut Tai-Tai, Nyonya Bak Chang, Curry Puffs, Blue Onde-ondeh (and a variety of other Nyonya Kueh); – and other dishes by Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh - you may contact Rita via her FB Page - Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh to reserve these goodies.

- Roti Jala Dual Colour & Blue Bandung
How to make Roti Jala 2-ways for Ramadan Continuing with our announcement of Blue Butterfly Powder launch in Malaysia in October 2017, we will be featuring several Chefs in Malaysia in various expertise who have acquired the knowledge and are adventurous to use our Blue Butterfly Powder in their culinary adventures in both traditional and modern cuisines and more because it is a natural food colour and a healthy substitute for the chemical ones. Roti Jala (also known as Roti Kirai or Roti Renjis, or "lace pancake" in English), literally meaning "Net Bread", is a popular Malay tea time snack served with curry dishes found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. The Roti Jala is a pretty dish that looks like a lace doily due to the way it is made. This is a very traditional Malay dish that is usually homemade and served at events such as weddings and festivals. It is usually eaten in sets of three to four pieces with chicken curry, as a substitute to rice. This 2-colour Roti Jala and Blue Bandung is created by Chef Sue. She is from Subang Jaya , Malaysia . She has more than 30 years experience in culinary expertise. 5 years ago she took her culinary journey to Down Under specifically Sydney, that's where we met. She enrolled into culinary school to learn modern Australia cuisine and other European cuisine. Now Chef Sue is back in her motherland and started her catering company called "Sage Catering ". Dabbling & creating drinks & food with Blue Butterfly Powder and her customers are very impressed with her passion in cooking. Traditionally, Roti Jala come in just one colour - yellow but we needed that something extra, a modern twist so Chef Sue has created Roti Jala more appealing using 2 colours and 2 ways of making them. Your imagination is your limit..... Here's the recipe - Enjoy! Ingredients - Roti Jala * 2 cups all purpose flour * 2 eggs * 1 tsp salt *1/2 cup water *1/2 cup coconut milk/evaporate milk *1/2 to 3/4 tsp Blue Butterfly Powder (depending on what colour you wish to achieve) *1/2 tsp turmeric powder *Oil to grease the pan Roti Jala, also known as "lace pancakes or crepe," is a delicate, net-like crepe popular in Malaysian cuisine. Made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and turmeric, it’s often served with rich curries like chicken or beef rendang for a perfect blend of flavors and textures. Method : 1) Put flour in large bowl and sieve it. 2) Add salt and 2 eggs in the middle and gradually add some water to make a batter - and separate the batter into 2 bowls 2) Add Blue Butterfly Powder and mix evenly - in the 1st bowl. 4) For brighter effect and colour - dissolve Blue Butterfly Powder in tepid water and let it rests for 15 minutes for it is very concentrated and the colours will keep expanding 4) In the 2nd bowl of batter add the turmeric powder and stir evenly. 5) Lastly put into roti jala mould or a funnel and start drizzling the batter into the hot pan in a quick circular motion 6) Cook for 1-2 minutes 7) Remove from pan and fold in the sides and roll the roti jala. 8) Garnish with coriander or salad and serve with chicken curry. Butterfly Pea & Turmeric Roti Jala Butterfly Pea Roti Jala - beautiful with 2 tones Chicken Curry with Meat Curry base Now after having 4 roti jala (maybe more - you won't stop because it is so cute and tiny that you wont be counting) with spicy chicken curry you would need something to refresh the palate. Chef Sugu is adventurous to do more with the Blue Butterfly Butter hence she made a "Blue Bandung" The bandung drink is a well-loved beverage commonly found in Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei. Distinctly bright pink in colour, it usually consists of rose syrup, artificial red colouring and milk. Bandung also happens to be the name of a city in West Java, Indonesia. In the Malay language, the term bandung means "pairs", while sirap means "syrup" - referring to the rose-flavoured base - and air means "water". Bandung also refers to anything that is mixed from other ingredients or comes in pairs, such as the term rumah berbandung to refer to a semi-detached house, or "mee bandung" which refers to a noodle dish. Despite the name, there is no connection to the city of Bandung in Indonesia, and the drink actually cannot be found there. Hence, you will only find "Blue Bandung" in Malaysia. This will be a hit for the coming Ramadan as it is usually served during Iftar in Ramadan month or wedding receptions with other foods such as nasi beriani or rendang. Hmmmm...maybe someone should try making "Blue Beriani"?? Bandung is a beloved Malaysian drink known for its sweet, creamy, and floral flavour. Made with a blend of rose syrup, evaporated milk, and water, it’s often served chilled and is a popular choice at local eateries and during festive occasions. Its vibrant pink colour and refreshing taste make it a favourite among both kids and adults! BLUE BANDUNG Ingredients *1 litre cold water *Sugar syrup to taste * 1/4 tsp Blue Butterfly Powder *100mls carnation milk. ** Use rose syrup if you would like the traditional bandung or give it a twist with Pandan ie Pandan Bandung. Blue Butterfly Bandung Method : (1) Boil sugar in 1/2 cup water until sugar dissolves. Let it cool. (2) When it has cool down, add Blue Butterfly Powder, stir until dissolved. (3) Add syrup and mixed evenly. (4) Pour the syrup into a jug, pour in the rest of water according to desired sweetness. (5) Add carnation milk, stir evenly. (6) Add ice cubes, garnish and serve.

- Rendang Eggs: A Flavourful Delight for Ramadan's Iftar
Budget friendly Rendang meal for everyone Ramadan 2025 began on the evening of Friday 28th February , and end on the evening of Monday, March 30th , marking a time of reflection, spiritual growth, and community for Muslims around the world. During this holy month, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs, focusing on prayer, self-discipline, and charity. Ramadan is also a time for strengthening ties with family and friends, and for many, it culminates in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr , a joyous occasion marking the end of fasting. As always, Ramadan serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy, gratitude, and self-control. Rendang is typically made with beef or chicken, and sometimes it can feel a bit "heavy" for an early sahur or after a long day of fasting. That's why our team has created a simpler Rendang Eggs recipe as a protein alternative. Inspired by her time as a university student with a limited budget, this recipe allows you to enjoy the rich flavours of rendang without breaking the bank.

A Frappuccino is a trademarked name by Starbucks for a type of iced, blended coffee drink, although the term has become widely used to describe similar beverages. Typically, a Frappuccino consists of coffee or espresso, ice, and milk, all blended together to create a thick, slushy drink. It’s often topped with whipped cream and may include various flavourings, syrups, or sweeteners like chocolate, caramel, or vanilla. Starbucks Frappucino (loaded with sugars) In addition to the classic coffee Frappuccino, there are also non-coffee variations, such as fruit-based Frappuccinos. These may feature ingredients like fresh fruit, fruit syrups, or even herbal infusions (like the Butterfly Pea Flower in your Blueberry Butterfly Pea Frappuccino), providing a refreshing and flavourful alternative to coffee-based drinks. The defining features of a Frappuccino are its ice-blended texture, creamy consistency, and its versatility in terms of flavour combinations, making it a popular choice for a sweet, cold, and refreshing treat. Indulging in a Blueberry Butterfly Pea Frappuccino is not only a treat for the senses but also a delicious step toward a healthier lifestyle.
