It’s all the girls’ fault – my cousins in Kuching! They were talking about this new cake place in the city and that triggered off a craving in me for cakes.
So I ended up buying this at my regular stall at Bandong – the steamed Horlicks Honey Cake…
I’ve eaten it before quite a long time ago and I liked it a lot – but I have not been buying it as it is quite expensive. A loaf (which, in fact, is a quarter of the whole square-shaped cake) costs RM14.00.
If I’m not mistaken, I think this is a variation of the kek batek…where the chocolate-flavoured Marie biscuits are used instead of the plain ones and Horlicks is used instead of the usual chocolate.
I also bought these at 59 sen a piece…
It’s just plain butter cake with bits of cherry but I loved it a lot – very light and moist, not too sweet…
…with just a bit of vanilla fragrance – I can’t stand it if it’s too overpowering.
But all in all, I think I like this one best…

– the Apom Milo or Steamed Milo Cake. It’s relatively cheap too – 3 slices for RM1.00 and RM25 for one whole square-shaped cake. I think I will order this for Christmas…or Chinese New Year.
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
