Chilled Soya Tarts (packet soya and instant jelly powder)...Part 1

My friend passed me some soya tarts previously bought from a famous shop along Middle Road that sells fabulous soya tarts and pineapple tarts. The soya tarts were delicious!

Missing those soya tarts now and this gives me motivation to make a batch of soya tarts myself. There are a few versions I'm trying out and this particular one uses store-bought packet soya milk and instant jelly powder for the soya filling. I upped the instant jelly powder a little to get a more 'solid' filling texture. My girl loved it while my hubby commented it's like 'Lao Ban dou hua' in a tart and he preferred the beancurd on its own as it's so refreshingly good in this hot weather.

For me, I will only share the verdict after I've posted all the different versions experimented. So, stay tuned!
