Any #pandanlovers out there? We bet your pantry is well-stocked with a lifetime supply of #pandanpowder!
In which case you´ll definitely love this dish we have to share with you today! Even just hearing the name is making us go weak in the knees...Pandan, Braised, Drumsticks (and throw in some veggies to make it complete)!
Technology hasn´t advanced far enough yet for us to share the smells with you online, but perhaps one day that could happen. For now, you can imagine how good this dish smells, so get ready for some cooking!
Most may associate pandan with sweet dishes, but did you know it´s also an amazing ingredient in savoury ones too? Julia brings us this beautiful dish today, so thank you Julia!! She is an ardent pandan fan and has made several pandan dishes such as:
Pandan Cocktail Buns
Pistachio Pandan Crumble
Pandan Pineapple Buns (Polo Bao)
Pandan & Chocolate Langue de Chat with Cream Cheese fillings

Julia hails from Hong Kong and currently resides in Melbourne. She found Pandan last year and fell in love with it immediately. She has now "Pandan-ed" a lot of recipes e.g. Pandan Donut, Pandan Coconut Crisps, Pandan Sausage buns, Pandan Egg tarts, Pandan Macau Almond Cookies, Pandan bread rolls, Pandan Mini Cheesecakes and many more. She´s not into publicity so Julia calls herself a home baker. Her children have all grown up, so with time to spare, she is loving the time she spends baking. It was good to catch up with Julia recently at the Melbourne Cake Bake & Sweets Show. Thank you Julia for reaching out to us!

Pandan is one of the most versatile ingredients around, and we´re always excited to learn new recipes from chefs who are also Pandan Lovers!
Julia also made a very simple Pandan Latte. All you need is 1 tspn Pandan with almond milk (sugar is optional). In the photo we've added palm sugar, boba pearls and shredded coconut to garnish. So delicious and refreshing! You´ll want a second round!
We gave away about 250 packs of Boba Tapioca Pearls at the Melbourne Cake Bake & Sweets Show recently!
