Hi Amabel.
You can copy down the Chinese characters from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmanthus. That will help when you are shopping at Chinatown.

Hi Suanne,
I live in Boston and I want to try this recipe but I am having difficulty finding Golden Osmanthus. I tried looking for it in Chinatown but they don’t seem to have it. I don’t read chinese characters and the people at the grocery store don’t know what is osmanthus.

I think Osaka supermarket might have a better selection. (The one you went to was T&T, but sometimes Osaka sells things that T&T don’t despite being owned by the same owner)

Hello, so I was in Vancouver this weekend and stopped by the market thats across the street from Aberdeen. They didn’t have the Lychee flavour :( .. but I did purchase the passionfruit, taro and peach to try.

Thanks Suanne and Suzanna. I’ll check it out at our local Ranch 99. Otherwise I am visiting Vancouver next weekend and will definitely make a stop at the grocery store to pick up a few boxes!!

Hi. When I used to live in CA, I was able to purchase the Knorr Lychee Powder at the local Ranch 99. Hope that helps.

Hi Nancy, we can find ‘Knorr Lychee Jelly Powder’ in many Chinese groceries stores in Vancouver. Perhaps, chowtimes readers from San Francisco can help Nancy out. Otherwise, you can use plain jelly powder and substitute some of the water with lychee water from can lychee to get the lychee flavour. The lychee jelly powder just enhance the flavour and is not necessary.

Hi Susanne,
I’m from San Francisco, and the chinese bakeries here sell it for about $3USD a PIECE! and my boyfriend’s mom decided to make it.

however, can you tell me where to locate the “Knorr Lychee Powder” in your ingredients list?

Thank you.

Hi Suanne,

You totally caught my attention with this recipe. I’ve being living in China for 2 yrs (and counting) and to be honest with you my *Chinese Cooking* is almost nonexistent.

I specially want to do this recipe since I have most of the ingredients, except the lytchee jello (I have never seen it on the supermarket..but will try to find it). The rest of the ingredients, I just looove them.

Thanks for sharing it
