Bonus:- a Lunar New Year PANDAN recipe by the Pandan People
Wishing you the longevity in the Lunar New Year is this "Pandan Tortoise Chocolate Cake" , a recipe contributed by @rempahkutjapayam Medan Indonesia to help us usher in the Wood Dragon. And guess what, this year's lucky colour is "dark green" similar to Pandan leaves. Also golden and yellow because the Dragon is associated with the Earth element in the Chinese Five Elements Theory, the fortunate colours for the year come from Wood and Earth.
The tortoise is its long life, endurance, and wisdom. The tortoise has a strong significance in Chinese culture. Because of it's naturally long lifespan, it is understandably associated with longevity.
This Pandan Tortoise Cake recipe comes in 2 languages ie Bahasa Indonesia as shared by RempahKutjab from Indonesia. And we have translated it to English for everyone to enjoy this yummy steam cake.
