Baking release..
I have this sudden urge to bake something . I guess it's because the weather outside is dreary and wet, with rain pouring down in buckets. Add on top of that the fact that I just came off a website showing the most delicious mouthwatering cakes.
But I dont think I want to bake a cake. I think I will bake a traditional Malaysian Kuih instead! Yes...in fact, I think I will make Bingka Ubi.
Funny, but during these months which I spent in Malaysia, I haven't yet tasted a satisfying Bingka Ubi. Not like the one my mother showed me how to make in the Bahamas. Even the Guyanese who claimed to be masters at making it (they called it 'pone') loved it.
So I'm going to use : Cassava. 
According to my mother, during the Japanese occupation of Malaysia, sometimes it was the only thing that her mother had to eat. And she also said that it was from those hard times that the creativeness of the people were forced to surface, resulting in alot of the delicious dishes which Malaysians enjoy today manying consist of the most humble ingredients.

Eggs :
And Coconut :
I'm going to grate it and squeeze out the milk, and I'm also going to use coconut flakes to give the Bingka more texture.
It's been ages since I've made it, I wonder how it'll turn out?
