Stars Galaxy

A CNY Star...A last hour decision to pick up a loyang mould from the store and headed back to the kitchen to fry a small batch to satisfy a year long craving, after a thumb down to the commercial ones. They all smell of bad oil!!  It makes better sense to eat few good clean ones than a big container of them swimming in dark smelly oil. The adding of muah chee powder makes them more "pang". Love the star shape more than the rose. Once you have master the art of making this snack, with same technique you could learn to make Kueh Pie Tee.

Read earnestly the below pointers to avoid the mistakes I made and you can get the light crispness texture..
