542032 Thu Jul 24 14:08:12 -0700 2008 14 57 Western Canada 0 3898481 I want to try baking the pandan chiffon which requires Ovalette or Quick 75 and Hoen Kwe Flour (green bean flour which is pre-mixed pudding flour). Anybody knows where I can buy them in Vancouver? I need to search the asian grocery stores but I am not sure which part of the city (Vancouver, Burnaby etc) has a large dense of asian (flillipino, indonesian, vietnamese etc) grocery stores. Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

It was pretty good. If you're ever in Surrey, Hen Long (144th and 104th) is your best bet. I once asked for Rau Rum, and they asked me back "you mean laksa leaves?". Thu Jul 24 17:01:29 -0700 2008 3898751 149589 kwailan4 2 3898775 I would try T&T. As Sam states above - there are a few Filipino places around Fraser (but closer to 33rd). Also a few along Main and 12th-ish (by the Catholic Church there). Thu Jul 24 15:33:39 -0700 2008 3898661 145820 fmed 1 3899123 Thanks everyone. I will try to drive around Fraser and Main. I'll update here if I find any for future references. T&T has a South East Asian aisle but it's too general. They don't have the Koepu-koepu Pandan Paste which you can find at grocery stores. Thu Jul 24 17:32:02 -0700 2008 3898481 210523 yogilo 2 3899158 Out of curiosity, can you share your recipe here? I do not remember any of these ingredients are needed for Pandan Chiffon cake. Thu Jul 24 17:43:02 -0700 2008 3899123 149589 kwailan4 3 3899678 It's from dianasdessert.com and from EG Gullet (from google results). There are two recipes there. I tried one this afternoon (she said ovalette is optional) but my cake crumble when cooling. It could be my folding but I feel that the whisked egg whites although whisked to stiff peak, wasn't holding enough with the cream of tartar. Hence, I am looking for the Ovalette to see if it will be better. I wish I could I ask my mom to send it over from Malaysia but with the cost of shipping, it's not worth it. I want to try the pandan custard filing but that needs the HK Flour. Thu Jul 24 21:14:56 -0700 2008 3899158 210523 yogilo 4 3900336 Ovalett is an industrial grade cake emulsifier made by the Bakels group - it is normally used in bulk cake production. You could try a bakery supplies outlet like Snowcap, Dawn Foods or Bakemark - all of whom have warehouses in the Vancouver area. A cake batter is basically an emulsion, whereby you whip air into a liquid mass - the emulsifiers in Ovalett - usually chemical emulsifiers like mono & di-glycerides, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids etc will help to retain the finely dispersed air bubbles within the emulsion & hence once baked give you that fine texture. http://www.bakelsph.com/products/product_specs.cfm?product=TL100/101 Fri Jul 25 06:57:20 -0700 2008 3899678 94423 graemejw 5 3900962 Thans Graemejw. It seems like Bakels have it in their catalog but not Snowcap, Dawn Foods or Bakemark. The distributor for Bakels in Canada is Qzina but I can't find Ovalette in their product catalog either. Fri Jul 25 09:50:02 -0700 2008 3900336 210523 yogilo 6 3901080 Hi Yogilo I would fire them off a quick e-mail - Ovalett is a famous Bakels product & I am sure someone there would know it. Alternatively Danisco manufacture a direct copy and would be able to help I'm sure.

Do they have it in their warehouse. Qzina's Op Manager replied saying they have it in their Los Angeles warehouse. It's a 10lb bucket with UPS charge about $60 shipped to me. :) Time to look around town again. Fri Jul 25 20:04:25 -0700 2008 3901080 210523 yogilo 4 3902772 A friend brought me a ready packet of flour for pandan chiffon from Singaopre once. All I had to do was add 10 - 12 eggs to it. It was easy and "fluffy". Only problem was the pandan tasted very "fake". You may want to ask your mom to look around for these packets instead.
