Water chestnut flour - has anyone used this? What is your opinion of it?

I've only seen this flour used to make water chestnut cake.

A type of Cantonese dim sum that is similar in consistency to turnip cake however the water chestnut cake is sweet and the turnip cake is savory.

 
Hmmm.... I was reading that you can use it like cornstarch ...

Whereas cornstarch stay's rather opaque when it thickens, water chestnut flour turns transparant and shiny. Guess I'll have to look for it and experiment.
