Massalavadei

.

This is the same scenario as the Fried Apple Pie. When I was busy preparing this kuih in the kitchen, you came in & ask what was I doing? After I told you that I was making a Massalavadei, you make a sulking face while telling me that you dont like it.

But then, again I've proven you wrong. After frying a few pieces, you end up eating most of them. All I did was to sit back & enjoy looking at you finishing the kuih you "dont" like!
