A super easy steamed cake recipe and it works so well with palm sugar! Amazing soft texture, so moist and it has a fragrant smoky aroma. This is one of the nostalgia foods that brings back memories and simply a favourite for the old and young alike.
More pandan leaves may be used for more fragrance. Be sure to use concentrated undiluted thick coconut milk and palm sugar for better flavour. To ensure proper rising and for "smiling" fatt koh (cracked open effect), use moulds where the height is greater than the diameter. Choose moulds with almost similar top and base diameter. Make sure the palm sugar syrup has cooled down to room temperature before adding in to mixture to avoid killing the yeast. It is very important not to open the cover during the steaming process. If more water needs to be added into the steamer, just pour in slowly through the side of the cover.
