@Happyfeetmama,
Thanks for writing again! So glad to learn that you and your friends had both enjoyed this . Turnips are juicy and sweet these months (usually before weather turns hot), meaning there are still months good for making our Lor Bak Gou.

I finally made this Lor Bak Gou last week and it tasted wonderful. The ingredients in this recipe is just right. My friends and colleagues love it and of course there was not enough to go round. Thanks you.

@ktuk85,
Great to know your whole family loved this turnip cake!
You are right, turnips are quite seasonal though they are available most of the time. When they are in season here, during cooler months, I like to pick those that are heavy for their sizes, indicating that they are more likely to be sweeter and juicier.
Have fun and enjoy!

Just made this and the whole family loved it!
Tastes just like the ones served in dim sum restaurants. Will be putting in more chinese sausages in next time though and perhaps some spring onions to make it look pretty.
Every now and again though I got a bitter taste, I’m guessing it’s not quite the season for the turnips and mother said there was 1 large turnip which may have been the culprit due to its age therefore bitter in taste…must pick the young looking turnips next time

Thank You for posting this wonderful recipe!
