Traditional Doughnut is my favorite

I believe many people are disappointed, just like I am, with the current political developments in the country. There are many strange things happening, like appointed court cases in the cabinet, even those who lost are appointed. Only those who appoint know the rationale, although we can guess why it happens.

We just have to believe in destiny. Everything happens with only Allah's permission, whether good or bad. However, if it is something bad, we will receive a proper reward, not in this world, but in the afterlife.

If you are a fanatic supporter, anything that is presented, even in court, is still considered slander. But at the same time, we forget that we deny the allegations of slander and evil acts of others, forgetting that we have also slandered others for doing evil and slandering.

My stance is simple, return to Allah. Everything that happens, good or a test, is good for the believers. If it meets what is desired, say thanks, if not, we must be patient. We cannot be deceived by the world because it is full of tricks. We should not consider anything as a blessing because it might be a disaster. Likewise, vice versa.

So don't be overly political to the point of sin and regret in the afterlife. This is a message for myself too. Some curse when there is a statement that disagrees with them. Why do they do that, isn't it a sin? Most of those who curse do not get anything in this world. They don't get a pay raise or projects either. OK, that's it for now.

But the "Che Mek Molek" cake is special, sugar is added into the cake. It is fried with low heat so that the sugar breaks down. So when we take a bite, the sugar will melt.

Like other cakes, this traditional cake has been modernized by being mixed with Malacca sugar, which is very famous in Malacca. A little rice flour is also added to make the skin crispy and the filling still soft.

Let's enjoy the recipe and preparation method below. Happy trying!
