| Bikang ambon - traditional flavour |
One of my aunties, who lives in Indonesia, is currently in Australia visiting. With any visit from Indonesia, a souvenir of Indonesian snack food is a must. And she did not disappoint. It's Bikang Ambon time!
What is bikang ambon you might ask. Traditionally it's a mildly sweet, fragrant cake, with a hint of coconut milk flavour. But these days it comes in all kinds of flavours like pandan, cheese, durian, etc.

What's so special about the cake is its honeycomb-like structure. Like you'd expect a bee or two to come flying out as you bite into it.
I like it best after 20 seconds in the microwave oven, its distinct chewiness and the coconut aroma are supercharged by the brief heat. I love it so much I had a piece every night after dinner until the entire cake is gone gone gone.
Never knew of the existence of this shop & its near my house.. Taste pretty good especially the pandan flavour. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteTalk about coincidence, huh? My philosophy is if it's good, pass it on.
