Hi Chef, where to buy Sunshine Self Raising Flour in Singapore? I can't find it at FairPrice, Prime, Mustafa, Cold Storage and Sheng Siong.

[@spicenpans]

Hihi Ailin. We noticed that too. You can try Phoon Huat or dry grocery stores. Btw, if you want your prawn balls to be puffier, you can add half or 1 tsp of baking soda to the batter.

[@fauziahain1532]

@Kohailin... Prime self raising flour is available at NTUC Cold Storage Giant and most local provision store..if you cannot locate it, just ask the sales assistant for help

[@fauziahain1532]

..and very easily available at SSiong

[@albertteng1191]

you can use all purpose flour and add yeast
