Foodnote: Recipe adapted from here. After successfully making the sarang semut mini, I am excited to try to make this since it looks quite easy and straightforward. It turns out well actually. I really likes it. I just saw another mould with 12 holes! Now I am so tempted to get it hhmmm...

Foodnote: First time trying to make this and when my friend in Chicago hehe shared the recipe and I happen to have all the ingredients, I quickly get to it. I made the mini version and it is very very soft and the honeycomb is so nice. I find the kuih taste so much better the next day. My friends who tasted it all says that it is very good. So yeah... this recipe is definitely a keeper! Will make it again for my family.

Might also want to try this recipe just to see the difference.
