2. Chocolatey Milo Batik 

It might look modern, but the Milo Kek Batik really is a recipe from Malaysia long ago. Inspired by the British biscuit cake, you use just four ingredients probably already in your kitchen to get a chewy condensed milk milo cake sandwiched with layers of classic Marie biscuits. All you really need is a hot pot to let everything mix and melt into each other, then straight into the fridge to set. The next morning, slice or break the cold chocolately cake into rough squares and savour with a warm cup of your favourite drink. More Milo perhaps?

3. Steamed Carrot Cake

Anna Olsen's inspiration for this dessert isn’t actually a dessert at all, but a name. She shares that when visiting the hawker centres in Singapore, she would enjoy eating “carrot cake” which in fact a steamed daikon radish side dish and about as far from a dessert that you can get. She says, "I love the idea that what I know of as carrot cake is completely different from the hawker version, so I’ve created a dessert where the carrot cake is closer in taste to the dessert I’ve grown up with, but with inspiration taken from the steaming technique, and a little savoury spice addition."
