Lapis Legit originates from Indonesia (also known as Spek koek). It takes many layers of baked batter to make one cake. This recipe is a simplified version of Lapis Legit. It is made into a roll instead of a piece of cake. Nevertheless, it tastes the same.

Cream Crackers Pork Chop 苏打饼干猪排
I came to know about cream crackers coating through its use in Hainanese Chicken Chop. This chop is a perfect epitome of fusion Hainanese-Western food. I wanted to try out the cream crackers coating. I am using pork chop as I just happened to have some that I would like to marinade. You can also replace it with chicken chop.

Banana Fritters Cecodok Pisang 炸香蕉丸
This is a typical Malaysian comfort food and the dish itself brings back many childhood memories.
Although lacking in appearance, it more than made up for it with its taste. These humble banana fritters are crispy on outside and soft inside. I especially like it with lots of banana flavour, just perfect with a cup of of good-old teh tarik.
The Malay word for this dish is also jemput-jemput pisang. This is because the batter is pinched (jemput) into the oil with your fingers and thumb. I have to admit these banana fritters are sinfully oily. My only advice is to put on the highest heat when you are about to take it out from the oil and use lots of kitchen towels afterwards.

Moist Carrot Cake II 红萝卜蛋糕 II
I think I hit all the criteria of a good cake for this Moist Carrot Cake. The cake was moist and soft, tall with raisins evenly distributed, and the correct balance of sweetness and tang. I absolutely loved this moist carrot cake. In fact, the cake tasted better on the next day!
