I just bought a bag of Cock brand wheat starch (The same one as in your picture) Can I use it to make your mung bean cake.In another word is it koh fun?<br /><br />Hope to hear from you soon. <br /><br />ChefmateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17589132.post-33831761471090383362009-07-01T19:02:59.441-07:002009-07-01T19:02:59.441-07:00Thank you for your reply HT.

I don't quite understand your quest...chefmate,<br /><br />I don't quite understand your question.<br /><br />are you asking if koh fun and wheat flour are the same? No, they're not.<br /><br />the only brand of koh fun I can find here is "cock brand". However, that brand sometimes label koh fun as wheat starch (as in the picture above). Although the english is sometimes screwed up, the chinese writing for both packages say 'koh fun'.<br /><br />hope this helpshoangtam/tthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251158612536272046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17589132.post-10726869816338364342009-06-24T22:33:44.548-07:002009-06-24T22:33:44.548-07:00Hi Hoang Tam,

Unfortunately, all the Rumfords say "double-acting" on the containers.
