Martabak Keju (Cheese Pancake) - Padang, Indonesia

In Asia, anything sweet, rich, diary loaded and from the pan is good. I am talking about the Martabak Keju found in many places in Java Island but has spread all over Indonesia. Its simple - just a flour base platform for toppings to be added. The toppings can be a study on hedonistic food tendencies.

This is my favourite dessert after my meal in Indonesia! Mercifully its only once in a while indulgence. The Chinese calls it Ban Ching Kue / Ta Kau Meen. One can have it simple or loaded to the extreme with diabetic and cardiac arresting toppings. And of course, the price will vary according to the number of toppings ordered.

We decided to go extreme. This Martabak Keju's white flour base were loaded with margarine, sugar, condensed milk , small chunky peanuts, chocolate chips, cheese and durian paste.
