Indonesian-Style Mee Goreng Cake From $36 For Birthdays With A Savoury Twist
It’s sold by an Indonesian-Chinese homemaker.
You’ve heard of nasi lemak cakes, chicken rice cakes, and even chilli crab cakes, but now a home-based business is selling mee goreng cakes and it’s gaining popularity among the Indonesian-Chinese community in Singapore.
Homemaker Dian Lin, an Indonesian-Chinese, who runs online business Nyonya Pantry, came up with the idea of creating the noodle cake for her husband’s birthday in April. “I was too lazy to bake a cake for my husband, so I made a mee goreng cake for him instead. After I shared photos of it on Instagram, I started getting requests for it,” says the 37-year-old, who moved to Singapore from West Java in 2012.
