Longan Konnyaku Fish

MC taught me how to do these while I was in Singapore.
Her fish moulds are very pretty but I don't seem to be able to find them. MC said she got these moulds ages ago. This mould is an individual fish mould and not the sheet mould.
So, if anyone of you come across these fish moulds, kindly drop me a note. Thank you!

What is konnyaku?
Konnyaku(Amorphophaiius Konjac,K. Koch.) produced from tubers of Konnyaku root, has been consumed as a part of important Japanese dishes for over 2,000 years. Science now unvail the real value of the Konnyaku as a high dietary, non fat, fiber low calorie diet food which shows several unique functions for maintaining a well-being.
When taken with foods, it reduces speed of sugar intake which prevent rapid blood sugar level jump. Instead, it gives graduale increment. Study also indicates Konnyaku lowers Choresterol level. Konnyaku is ideal for weight reduction since Konnyaku forms jelly like material and expands about 30-50 times in the digestive system and gives the feeling that the stomach is full. The Konnyaku cleans the digestive tract of toxins.
Most recently, the food industry is paying attention to the Konnayku flour to replace conventional starch formulations since the Konnyaku is lower in calories and lower in fat without sacrificing texture and taste.

How I fix the eyes in the fish?
I used dried kiwi seeds.
First I soak the kiwi seeds.
Next pour the konnyaku just a little over the eye level, stick 1 soaked kiwi seed that has been dipped in konnyaku into eye area, wait a little while then pour in the rest of the konnyaku.
If you feel that kiwi seeds are a little small for the eyes, some friends suggested using half a raisin or soaked wolfberries.
So, take a pick which kinds of eyes you want!
