Even though the overall recipe was very rich in chinese mushrooms and the use of dried shrimps, I feel that this recipe failed to re-create the original version of turnip cake found in many restaurants. I feel that this particular recipe used too much white pepper powder and spice powder therefore making the cake too "spicy." Also, it would be helpful if the instructions included the actual amount of turnips used instead of just saying "3 turnips" because turnips vary in sizes which may make the recipe confusing.
