This
is my favourite cake ever. I am not sure how to explain the texture
and the taste. But if you know about klappertaart, bingke textture
almost like that. Moist, soft, and fragrant. In Pontianak you can
find this cake. Bingke
is so common cake in my town. Not so hard to find it. With a lot of
choice. But Bingke Berendam
is the original one. Modern people make bingke in
another varian. Not only Berendam
or original. If you like cheese or potato you can buy Bingke
Keju (Cheese Bingke) or Bingke
Kentang (Potato Bingke).
Bingke's
Brass always like this one.
You
can slice one bingke
to six pieces, so you can share it to another person you love. But
for me, one brass only for myself. Bingke Berendam is
too good to be eaten by another person. I will save six pieces for
myself only. Hahahaha...
originally,
bingke always sweet.
But some producer make slaty bingke.
Very suitable for diabetics. But this cake too much calorie. Not so
healthy. Just becareful if you don't want to get sick or fat. You can
make your own healthy bingke
if you know the recipe. I will share the recipe in another post for
you. Because I need to understand the recipe and write it in English.
Actually it's so easy to make your own bingke.
My difficulty is only in English.
I
hope this post will make you love to come to Pontianak, West Borneo,
Indonesia. I still have a lot of food I can share in this blog. If
you follow this blog from the beginning and you can understand
Indonesian, I am sure you read a lot of food posts. Not only about
the food but some of them is traditional recipe from my town. I am
not a good chef but I can cook some of traditional food here.
You
can join me in my cooking adventure trough this blog. Just ask
anything you want, mention me on twitter @honeylizious. I will love
to listen to your question about my food and travel blog.
