Mmmmmm tikoy AND cheese? This sounds awesome! Can’t wait to try this, and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who likes tikoy even when it isn’t Chinese new year season.

  Tikoy should be in stores all year round. There are just some days when I crave for panfried tikoy battered in egg.XD Try the recipe out and tell us what you think! We’d love to hear from you again!:)

  Hi Dominique, thanks for the feedback! It’s actually a very rich dish. Try adding more cheese to counter the “umay” factor.

Hi, Pepper peeps. Wondering how much recipe testing you do before you post. I really love your ideas and I’ve been reading your posts for the photos, the snark, and the new ideas. But the recipe writing needs to be tightened a bit, I think. Still, good job, guys. More comments below. Sorry fo all caps. Just wanted to highlight my comments.

Spanish chocolate dip:2-3 tbsp tablea chocolate, unsweetened << DO YOU MEAN 2 to 3 PCS TABLEA? OR TBSPS OF COCOA POWDER? TABLEA REFERS TO THE SHAPE DIBA? [tablets]1/2 cup water << MILK OR CREAM OR MORE WATER MIGHT HELP LIGHTEN IT2 tbsp sugar1 tsp cornstarch << ENSURES GOOD SILKY TEXTURE (we hates gritty/watery tablea in our house)

Prepare chocolate dip:
Put all ingredients in a sauce pan. << EVEN THE BIG DISCS/BALLS OF TABLEA? LEFT WHOLE?Turn on fire and whisk continuously until it boils and thickens. << IF TABLEA IS NOT CHOPPED, IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO WHISK AND MELT.Set aside.

  Hi Sandrita, by table we meant the pcs but gave the tbsp so as to be able to gauge the size of the table because there are different sizes available in the market. for the water, we used only this much because it is meant for a dip. It depends on the tablea you are using, but good table melts easily when heated. thanks for the comments for our betterment.
