I've seen it for sale at some SE Asian groceries in the US. If not, try for the Japanese pumkin 'kabocha'. If you still can't find that, or taro, I'm guessing it would be good with sweet potato. Maybe even squash. You can buy sticky rice flour at an Asian grocery. No need to make it yourself. No problems about the questions -- ask away. It'll help clear up confusion with other readers too. Good luck! Hi Tee,

I havent had it in years. Can I use canned pumpkin? I havent seen fresh taro either...I hear you have to cook taro very well or else it can cause your throat to itch, and I have never made taro before. I do have the pandan esscence. How do I make the sticky rice powder? I have the sticky rice..do I just run that through a food processor till it is like a flour or do I have to cook and dry it out first? Sorry about all the questions. Love your site. Tee I am so glad there is a recipe for this! I havent had it in years. Can I use canned pumpkin?
