Pandan Huat Kueh (Chinese steamed cake) 班兰发糕 ｜−・;）

i was so excited when i found pandan leaves in an expat market… and so i bought the lot… like 20 (nothing to you eh, but eiiii… it’s a gem here u know (｡ >艸<))

i was quite a failure here.. if you take a look at my history, i never allow my huat kuey to huat… mmm, maybe because i like to decorate on ’em and if they huat, i will not know what to do with it? (◎-◎；).. anyway… as you can see here, some of my huat huey here, were actually trying to huat despite me controlling the heat….
