As a Malaysian who grew up watching Chef Wan's cooking show, I just love the fact that you came to Malaysia and teamed up with him :D

[@athirahzuhairi1353]

Amir4king ikrrrrr

[@everettlondon1384]

Instablaster...

[@FireCracker3240]

I don't know what I love more... the awesome unique food or how hilarious I find Chef Wan! Hahaha, he is great!

[@shikinsaerah]

FireCracker3240 chef wan always like that. Very cheerful & passionate person, esp when talking about food. Anna Olson met & cooked with him before in her show. Malaysian love him :)

[@FireCracker3240]

I can see why. He's a national treasure! :-)

[@chonghueylan1677]

FireCracker3240 iii

[@kartinikikeh9844]

FireCracker3240 ya he is funny guy,i also really enjoy to see his show..

[@syahnazmi29]

He is Malaysia Number 1 Chef!

[@Tekgila]

Chef Wan! Im proud to be Malaysian

[@himuminario]

chef wan is so excited to show his culture xD i laughed when he tried feeding xDD

[@RhondaThorne12]

As an Malaysian I must say 'Alahai.... sedapnyaa...' ... Chef Wan is indeed an ICON. JUST LIKE YOU!

[@RexPhalange]

You got Chef Wan as your guide?? 😱 He is THE Malaysian celebrity chef.

[@lovindyputrilebalado4951]

I see chef wan, I press like! Both of my fav chefs in one video

[@lilyghazali8341]

Malaysian here! I've never clicked on one of your videos so fast! I am FOR SURE making this

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Oh wow. No butter, flour, or milk in those sweets and they are still puffy and delicious. Note to self: when I travel to Asia one day, be sure to try the sweet things in addition to all the different and delicious savories I've heard about for years.

[@charmedheart7887]

hey anaxerik4ever, if you're referring to the Chiffon Pandan Cake, the recipe DOES call for all those 3 ingredients -- butter (in this instance, in the form of 'oil'), flour, and coconut milk. And oh, as a Malaysian AND a shameless foodie, I can tell you that Malaysian flavours are simply exceptional. Like, seriously. :P

[@Amr_D]

Its great that you pick the best chef in malaysia for your tour.

[@pufflova]

Please do more asian food. Love it Donal!

[@AlexBernsbo]

You can also the the leaf, add water and blend it in a blender. use cheese cloth to divide the juice and leaf. This will give you more fragrance. That's what we do in Thailand

[@suryafarabracke4701]

Alex Kongmee Ya,the real leaf extract juice give food more taste and aroma.Maybe Chef Donal want a faster way and more vibrant pandan color for the cake by using the instant pandan extract. We use vanilla extract more than vanilla beans/pod too.

[@AlexBernsbo]

Suryafara bracke def ☺️

[@hunnybunny7198]

Omg chef wan!!!

[@kageshiroke]

I am MALAYSIAN! (I'm not a politic guy but this election had written a big history page this year on 2018, our newly crowned Prime Minister has arise to take down the corruption and is attempting to repair the holes that has been dug) We just had our 14th Election ended not long ago #GE14. This is truly a good recipe to show that Malaysia has a great dessert cake, I used to eat this a lot when I was a kid. Also, Chef Wan is a famous chef in Malaysia, it's just a fun fact :D Really, I am so proud to be a Malaysian right now :D

[@kageshiroke]

what's wrong with u?

[@aishahhosni]

Pandan is an aromatic leaves we can find here in Malaysia.we put it in lots of Malaysian dish..even in our coconut milk rice (nasi lemak) to fragrance the rice.

[@vijay20]

omg excited to see chef wan on donal's channel. for the people who annoyingly point out the local names of desserts in your country, please stop. we know what they are called, every other channel here has people like you "correcting" us. I'm singaporean and i find this really unproductive. otherwise, enjoy! us straits people should be happy and united as one!

[@BrainyBajanBeauty]

I absolutely LOVE pandan cake!

[@aaamandac]

I remember my mom making this for me when I was younger. It was definitely one of my all-time favourites cakes so this takes me back! Great job!

[@Luna-xq7pb]

OMG I grew up watching chef Wan and I was overjoyed to see him in your video!

[@cullumkille2372]

Thanks for another gorgeous recipe. The cake is beautiful!

[@shakes1026]

[@athirahsufyan7509]

[@NekomaruArt]

You and Chef wan = awesomeness

[@brigittedhaese5184]

I like this cake it look delicious

[@heidiw3044]

I DONT KNOW WHAT A PANDAN CAKE IS BUT I WANT IT NOW

[@saravibeswith]

LuckyPandaCookie Pandan is a type of leaf used in various South East Asian dishes. It has a distinct smell and the vibrant green colour can be used for food dye. So, Pandan Cake is essentially a sponge cake with the colour and scent of Pandan. The flavour would be sweet.. Like sugary sweet.

[@ongyuteng]

IT IS AMAZING TRUST ME

[@heidiw3044]

sarashouts thanks for letting me know! I should try it someday.... ( / ~ \ )

[@charmedheart7887]

Oh.. also, pandan is also called 'screwpine' in the west. (yes, seriously. lol)

[@suryafarabracke4701]

My mouth is watering when imagine the aroma and taste of pandan cake.

[@sharafudeenmk1187]

I am a big fan of u donal

[@camired_]

he is so funny 😂😂😂 feeding you and all haha

[@Kimberwheat]

Looks really good

[@BeeBee-nx9zi]

Wow you meet up with Chef Wan! 🖒 Please drop by Singapore next time and get some inspiration from our local dishes such as singapore chilli crab, satay, hokkien mee and laksa. 🍲🥘🍝

[@awa019]

I love pandan cake...very tasty..

[@najmiazman24]

Look delicious taste delicious

[@nadineklinkenberg5855]

Really eager to try this. Living in the Philippines the pandan is a loved flavor. Thanks for sharing

[@hanamhamid553]

The Malaysian Godfather Chef for you. Love you both!

[@pavitasaribudiutami4874]

basically pandan is leaf with a good aroma, natural green food coloring and usually in Indonesia we using for dessert. But there is one another leaf that makes intens green color, this is 'daun suji' or suji leaf. Daun suji is more intens green color than pandan but pandan is more aromatic than suji. So that's it and I hope you more explore pandan and suji in Indonesia😊

[@TheBabyqueenie]

Welcome to Malaysia! And long time no see chef wan

[@aprilhnin9180]

Hello! Donal! 👋🏻 Love the recipes! 😊 Love Noah, too 💕

[@saintghi8974]

Hi Donald, I'm from Indonesian and in our country we have specificly the same pandan cake since Malaysia and Indonesia have similarity cuisine. My grandma used to make this cake when Christmas around the corner but instead of oil our fams recipe use margarin, it add much flavour but not too buttery, half cup will enough. We also have other version or marble pandan cake with include some chocolate paste inside the cake. You should try it. Anyway nice frosting with the lime, never thought it before. Good job Donald. Love from Indonesia.

[@Yasmin-qo2jd]

One of the most popular cake in Indonesia. Smells and tastes really good. We don't use icing in Indonesia. And I can tell you're using Butterfly (Koepoe-Koepoe) brand for the pandan essence😁😂

[@andreaskevinhadinata4159]

Yasmin bentuk botolnya keliatan bgt ya hhaha

[@shikinsaerah]

Love all kuih kuih in Malaysia. Luckily now is Ramadan month. I can enjoy kuih muih as much as I want. Esp with pandan flavor

[@jungschiffer8423]

2 of my favourite chefs in a video, what a wonderful day today PS: TOTALLY NEED TO MAKE THIS CAKE. MY PARENTS WOULD LOVE IT

[@arjunapersada1809]

amazing

[@Fenrispro]

Oh yea i like this series :) its nice of u to try diff palates

[@shafaleo91]

Chef Wan! I love him, he's so funny!

[@AdamNorman]

Wow you meet chef wan?? Brilliant

[@heathxakuma]

Welcome to Malaysia , hope you do enjoy malaysia's foods. We call it chiffon cake too. Love your videos,keep it up.

[@nurynjefferi8080]

Chef Wan is just adorable

[@NuhanHidayat]

You need to make that cake from 01:10 we called it klepon in Indonesia (idk what they call it im Malaysia tho) those are very sweet & lovely it made out of sweet rice flour filled with coconut/palm sugar then sprinkled with shredded coconut

[@kaktees]

Nuhan Hidayat ondeh-ondeh is what we call it in sg and msia

[@iusandthefoods]

Because we have the same roots... Yet Medan a region in Indonesia, which is the closest to the Malaysia called it Ondeh Ondeh, while in Java Island we called it Klepon. And in Java Island we have also Ondeh-Ondeh which is a fried sesame green bean paste. Interesting, isn't it?. But still, at the end of the day they're made to made us happy, like chef Wan said hahaha

[@kaktees]

Ius and The Foods yeah for us there's two kinds of ondeh-ondeh. One is the one seen in the video and the other is the goreng version with coconut filling. Both are referred to as ondeh-ondeh here as far as I know.

[@naze_niza]

my father called it kelepong. my mother called it buah melaka. yet, i learned it called onde-onde from my friends.

[@aprilza9283]

we called it, buah melaka, ondeh2 and sometimes kelepong.. lol

[@Inbetweenthoughts]

You could take it to the next level by making gula melaka frosting..

[@vince7079]

exactly what I​ thought, it's so weird with cake frosting.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Classic combo

[@jedrashidul6952]

Dude. So right

[@Cherrykhalil]

Yassssssss

[@niffim]

come back to Malaysia Donal!!!

[@putrypertiwi6977]

hi donal so syiok to see chef wan, the celebrity chef on your channel😄. Your version is interesting. Nvr seen a pandan cake in a bundt tin & drizzle of the icing sugar. Its also delish on its own especially with the pandan flavour & its fluffiness. 🖒

[@mazm5376]

Proud to be malaysian.. :-)

[@suryafarabracke4701]

I love the tangy lime frosting and lime zest on pandan chiffon cake idea. Where did you find the fresh pandan leaves,chef? I just notice it on your cooking counter.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

From what I heard (though I've never made one before), they say you don't actually have to oil the pan. That's just the specialty of making chiffon cake. It will never stick to the pan. Oiling it will make the cake denser, which beats the purpose of a chiffon texture. To those who had made this cake before, is this actually accurate?

[@MoonshineMist]

I'm no expert on baking but have made this cake annually for about 15 years and from my experience it tends to deflate (and subsequently get denser) when the pan is oiled. If you look closely at the cut of Donal's cake at 7:51 you can see it does look a little dense towards the edges and only the center actually seems airy - still looks good though and it did bounce back when he cut into it! Try baking it with an oiled pan and if it deflates try again without. The cake's delicious enough to eat two of them ;)

[@littlebluedolphin]

He had to oil the pan as he used a bunt pan, which doesn't release the cake easily without oiling due to the design of the pan. If he had used a chiffon cake pan, the type with smooth, straight edges, a middle cylindrical pipe and a removable bottom, then oiling is not needed. Even Alton Brown shared the science behind this in his Good Eats: Angel Food Cake episode.

[@nnrr85]

You're right

[@foxiecute]

I made this last week and my cake deflated. I was so disappointed because I thought I did something wrong. I'm going to try this again without oiling the pan and see what happens. I'm using a bundt tin though. Hopefully it doesn't get stuck.

[@evannewu]

Georgia Andrea typically pandan cake is baked in a tube pan n ungreased cos the batter needs surface to "climb" up. If u grease it it wont be able to climb....N the cake is usually cooled upside down to ensure volume and hence lightness. There so many asian pandan cake recipes on youtube, mostly done without greasing the pan and are more fluffy.
