Hi how are you? Had tried your soy bean drink recipe over the weekend .. It was fantastic! Something I miss over here in Melbourne.
Btw can I request you to take a picture of the gypsum powder? Cos I cant find it in the supermarket here. Wanna go and try the asian produce store here but dont know how a typical gypsum powder looks like ... Cheers!

Im fine, and yourself? Hope you doing fine too ^^. Glad you like the soybean drink.
Sorry I wont able to take the photo of the gypsum powder, cause it not in a bottle or container. The gypsum powder I bought was packed in a small plastic bag with no label. I heard some said gypsum powder could be found in Chinese medical hall, so I bought mine at the Chinese medical hall. I think local baking shop (Phoon Huat) do sell them. Are there any baking shops over your side?

Most of the bakery shop here are Ang Mo type. But I did see one operated by a Hong Kong. Not too sure if they will sell.
By the way, do you know the chinese name of it ( cos if I were to ask the medical hall pple ) I do hope to say it in chinese as if not I might get the wrong product.
Thanks alot for the help! Cheers! (Comment this)
They called it "Shi Gao Fen" (cement) in Chinese, tell they it for making bean curd they should know it. ^^
