  4. Hi Pat & angela,
    Check this site out to see what it looks like:
    http://masak-masak.blogspot.com/2005/08/crispy-peanut-pancake.html

    It describs the process in pics how the thin crispy version is cooked, but not the recipe.

    There are 2 versions – the thin crispy and the thick softer version. Only the thin crispy ver is shown here.

    Pat, you probably have tasted the thick softer ver before in the Kelantan/Trengganu morning markets. The thin crispy ver., you can find almost everywhere.

  6. Dear Rose,
    Thanks for posting these Malaysian goodies….Its quite hard to look for them online but it seems you have all the old favourites that I have almost forgotten! I live overseas (for almost 20 years) and don’t get to enjoy these goodies. I hope your health is okay now. I have also experienced a similar situation in 2008 and had my thyroid removed. The 4 most important ingredients are good nutrition, exercise and positive active lifestyle and faith to combat the disease. God bless and protect you always!!
