What I wanna know is: What does the "silver" refer to? I didn't see anything that would create a silver coloration. Is it a translation problem? Does it have something to do with its origins? Did some guy pay someone in silver for some bread way back when?:confused:
:D

In fact there were "gold" and "silver" loaves, with same ingredient but either deep-fried or steamed, respectively. However, today most people refer both of them as "silver".
Child of Karras: I see. This is due to most Chinese-Singaporean are immigrants from southern China, where rice-based foods are dominant over flour-based ones.

and found out Chinese silver loaves are somewhat like our German Knödel (dumplings). Lacking US measures, I took a little less than two coffee mugs of flour and half a mug of water, letting everything else be teaspoons rather than tablespoons (2 tablespoons of baking powder seems wrong, or isn't it?). I did a lot of kneading like it said in the game, then let it rest. I had no idea what to do next (when initially playing the game and copying the recipe I imagined it would be putting the loaves into an oven...), but found some internet source that says they get steamed with the meat dish. So I kneaded the dough again for 3 minutes, divided it into 6 rolls and put them into 6 nests folded from greased paper such that the sauce wouldn't spill into them, and put them into the closed pot with the simmering meat dish for about 20 minutes. My other source said the loaves would rise and crack open when ready and that was what they did. They did look silvery, and in the inside they were white, soft and fluffy. As for taste, they were alright but I guess it depends what other dish you are having them with. I posted this because in the past 1.5 years nobody has come around to answer the opening question of this thread. By the way, there is also a Coq au vin recipe lying around somewhere in Paris, DX1, can't remember where exactly, but it is the classic one and the dish tastes really nice ...

Damit, I'm a Deus Ex fan and I have not tried this stuff!

my mom makes the stuff.
Its pretty good, just like moist bread. Its better when you have bean paste in it though.

I'd imagine it's in the kitchen on the café - the one where you also find the chef's ATM details.
Kudos for making the things, by the way! :thumb:
I've meant to several times but never bothered writing the recipe down. Now you've inspired me to try it myself.
