Kuih Dadar (Coconut Pancakes) - 香兰椰丝卷
This pancake is a very popular malay dessert. The most common flavoring ingredients are coconut cream/milk, grated coconut, pandan leaves and gula melaka. It is very delicious and quite addictive, and nothing beats eating it fresh and warm, hot from the gridle. Right from the first bite, the magic happens - your teeth start to sink into the soft pancake, as they reach the filling there is a light crunch from the grated coconut. Slowly when you chew, the flavors and textures start to play together inside your mouth and you can't wait to take another bite... and another... and another... Yummy!
... Happy folding!
