Pandan Cake

I think one of the biggest blessings of living in Utah is to be able to meet people from all around the world. My best friends when I first got here were Mongolian, ABC and Singaporean. It's interesting to learn about their cultures, what they eat, what they wear, and how they think. It's also a great opportunity to learn to cook their cuisines!!!! Authentic Mongolian food, authentic Singaporean food, authentic Korean food, authentic Japanese food... (my roommates are Korean and Japanese)

Recently I was really interested in pandan cake. My Singaporean/ Malaysian friends love this little green cake. It tastes like paper-wrapped cake but with a scent of Pandan, a Southeast Asian spice kind of thing. Felix's roommate is Malaysian and he bought me a box of Pandan cake mix (two boxes actually). Haha! I wouldn't say it's extremely tasty - just like paper-wrapped cake, you wouldn't say it's very yummy but it is my childhood memory - I guess Pandan cake is some also childhood memory for most southeast Asians. I would recommend trying it.

I don't remember if this one is the best one (they look the same... but just try it.)

And this is how it looks like:











Yum yum yum. Do you cook often? I guess food is cheap in Beijing.
