Traditional Javanese Apem Cake from Indonesia

In Javanese culture, kue apem holds symbolic meaning as a sign of seeking forgiveness and expressing gratitude, and is often served in traditional ceremonies such as slametan, nyadran, and ruwahan.

Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun

I never thought about making pineapple buns myself, in fact, I never thought I could do it. As for why I do this, of course it’s because of my baby son😅 The crispy pineapple skin, the soft sweet bun, and every bite has a light butter aroma. The recipe with less sugar and less oil makes this "evil" food feel a bit refreshing 😅

Best enjoyed cold on a hot afternoon or as a pleasant end to a meal.
