Kueh Ketayap (Pandan flavored crepe with palm sugar coconut filling) 班兰椰丝卷

This is one of my family favorite, Kueh Ketayap. It is a sweet coconut stuffed crepe rolled. The sweet coconut filling is cooked with gula melaka (palm sugar) into a sticky and moist filling. When you bite into this soft and slight chewy pandan flavored crepe with the moist, sticky gula melaka coconut filling it taste so so good. The aroma of pandan and gula melaka compliment each other, simply make you ask for more :D
