Internet users evaluation :


I tried this one but it seem like something missing from the recipe, the ingredient need 10 tbs. Thong Yod flour but didn't tell that how much wheat flour I should use to mix with rice flour, also the ingredient said 10 tbs. but in the recipe said add 4 tbs. so what am I suppost to do with the rest of the flour mixture? The taste of Thong Yod that comes out is very bland even it has been soak in the syrup for many hour.
