Personal notes/温馨小贴士：

– my chwee kueh mould is 3 inch in diameter. you can make either 20 short chwee kueh or 10 taller ones. i chose to make 10 slightly ones since chwee kueh tend to sink a little in the middle after steaming.  steam over high heat for 55-60 mins if making 10 (since you need to pour more batter in one mould)
我家的水粿模具直径 3寸。您可做 20个矮形或 10个中等高度水粿。因水粿在蒸熟后，中央会稍略下沉，我选择做了 10个中等高度的水粿～因每份模具里的面糊增加，所以蒸煮时间也需适当增加至 55-60分钟
