ORANGE HUAT KUIH [香橙发糕]

After 2 successful attempts to make smiling Huat Kuih, I made these orange flavour Huat Kuihs.  This time, the huat kuih smiled prettily,too and the flavour was good. 
Gave a neighbour this huat kuih and she told me that it can be served with grated white coconut.
Verdict - The texture is soft and fluffy, moist but not dense. Fragrant and tasty.  I had reduced the sugar from 150 gm to 100 gm since orange juice is sweet.  These fatt koh stay soft the next day.
