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 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!

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. 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.

50 Shades of Blue - From Nothing to Something? These 3D Jelly Cakes are an edible work of art, painstakingly created by very gifted artisans! Who do you know that would turn down a piece of cake - not me thats for sure. Butter cake, chocolate cake, cheesecake, bring 'em on I say. But one thing that will make me pause for a moment is a truly beautiful cake that has been painstakingly hand crafted. The kind of cake that makes you wonder if it’s actually a cake or simply an art exhibit. We have seen in fact there are even shows on television about cake making so there are a never ending source of beautiful cakes, designs and new fads - we even have one of them in our Blue Butterfly Pea Flower, but more of that later. The latest in a long line of innovation are the 3D jelly cakes and while they look sensational and you would be excused for thinking they are a painting there is no paint used in these cakes just natural food colouring like our Blue Butterfly Powder; more natural colours in the future to be added. 50 Shades of Blue BUY BLUE BUTTERFLY POWDER NOW Okay, so technically they’re not cake cake, but that doesn’t stop these gorgeous confections from being a delicious treat. The cake is originally made by mixing gelatin, sugar and water, which sets to form the clear cake. The remaining gelatin mixture is coloured with milk and food colouring. These coloured jellos are then injected into the cake using special tools to form the beautiful blooms. A final layer of jello is then added to the base of the cake to seal the patterns inside. Purple colour is also from Blue Butterfly Powder Our Blue Butterfly Powder is very concentrated - dissolved in warm water let it rest for 20 minutes as the colour will still expand, depending of course how much you used. You may play with the Blue Butterfly Powder and have perhaps 50 different shades of Blue, who knows. You can play with the amounts of powder or add lemon juice (any citrus but lemon is ideal) for different shade or colour and taste. You may even increase or decrease the use of water or milk to alter the colour spectrum. BUY BLUE HERBAL TEA 3D Jelly using our Rozelle red powder Looks simple and easy, right? Well you will not be surprised to know that it can take years of practice in order to get it right. There are numerous schools that teach the art so do not despair. The placement of the petals and leaves is difficult in itself but you also have to make sure you inject just the right amount of coloured gelatine to make the shape you want. Because of the way it is constructed - bottom up, then you may have no idea how your cake will look until finished and turned right side up so a good imagination is an essential ingredient as is confidence in what you are doing. Some of these cakes can use so many different shades of gelatine to create depth in the flower designs, it is almost like a colour chart from one of the paint manufacturers. Getting the colours just right takes hard work and some artists use all natural colourings like our rozelle to give it the red colouring, which also imparts a subtle flavour that was used in this cake above to add flavour as well as colour. Yes, and while My Blue Tea will be introducing Rozelle Powder and a host of other natural and safe colours in the not too distant future for you to enjoy making 3D Jelly Cakes or simply to add colouring to your cooking and baking that you would like to try out at home, you should order now and try some Blue Butterfly Powder and start your creation's. The Creator for these pieces of art is Lynn - a very ambitious lady, graduated in Actuarial Science which was considered (at that time in the 80s) one of the most difficult field's. She went to the US and later Eire and came back and worked in corporate sector for over 20 years in the insurance industry. She has always loved everything beautiful and wanted her children to use their god-given hands to do things that are beautiful. So she taught them to do things from scratch, producing something out of nothing and to be proud of their own effort. Despite being busy with her corporate work from Mondays to Fridays, she loved teaching and imparting her knowledge to her children, some of whom have married and have their own children now. In 2014, Lynn decided to retire from the Corporate World and in 2016 started Lynn's 3D Jelly Cake's. She said both are similar but different in spirit as they both fulfilled her interest and desire for producing items from nothing to something. Part of the actuarial work that she was doing had her creating, prices and produce insurance products for the company to sell. The work she is doing today has her producing beautiful natural 3D Jelly Cakes that are strikingly beautiful and loved by customers.

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. Clitoria Ternatea 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.

How to make Roti Jala 2-ways 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 mil 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 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. Roti Jala-2 colours Roti Jala - 2 tone BUY BLUE BUTTERFLY POWDER NOW Chicken curry 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"?? 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 Blue Bandung Method : Boil sugar in 1/2 cup water until sugar dissolves. Let it cool. When it has cool down, add Blue Butterfly Powder, stir until dissolved. Add syrup and mixed evenly. Pour the syrup into a jug, pour in the rest of water according to desired sweetness. Add carnation milk, stir evenly. Add ice cubes, garnish and serve.

Now who will wanna take the challenge to concoct a "Blue Bitter Melon Juice" - a great drink for diabetics though.

How to bake Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake with Blue Butterfly Powder The chiffon cake was invented in 1927 by Harry Baker (1883–1974), a California insurance salesman turned caterer. Baker kept the recipe secret for 20 years until he sold it to General Mills, which spread the recipe through marketing materials in the 1940s and 1950s. The name was changed to "chiffon cake" and a set of 14 recipes and variations were released to the public in a Betty Crocker pamphlet published in 1948 This may not be the the 1st Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake but this is the 1st "Butterfly Pea Chiffon Cake" made using Blue Butterfly Powder by Stevia Liong in Sydney. Stevia is a hospitality veteran who loves cooking and baking. She's a crocheter and volunteers at Burwood Wrap with love and collects wind chimes. She's a proud mum of 4 children who all followed in her footsteps. Traditionally, most bakers would boil the sun dried butterfly pea flowers to extract its colour and it could be a bit light or even too dark so the agony of knowing how much water or flowers to use is an unknown - plus there are enzymes and good nutrients lost in the boiling process. You could save about 30 - 45 minutes from that tedious process with our Blue Butterfly Powder. Here's the recipe - Enjoy!
