Ham Jim Peng (Chinese Five Spice Doughnuts) - 咸煎饼

Ham Jim Peng is deep fried bread, a very popular snack in Malaysia and Singapore. Stalls selling this kind of snack is very common especially along the road side. Many eat it with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast. It comes with various types of filling, and the one I prefer most is salty five spice with sweet red bean paste. The process of making Ham Jim Peng is not that complicated, but it does a bit time consuming. Regardless, this snack is really good - imagine sweet wrapped by slight salty dough with the texture of good doughnut, I think my explanation successfully do justice to the taste, everyone just love it!

There are different versions but the one I love most is made with durian.  Making dodol is a grand affair but also a time-consuming and back-breaking process. Expect to have some arm exercises at stirring the mixture vigorously for about 10 intervals or so - the stickier the texture the better it will taste, but upon reaching the final product the mixture won't be too sticky, only thick and rich. The result of this recipe is soft and slightly chewy, it's just simply delectable! My hard works were well worth it!  ...
