gula melaka 'Huat Kueh'

I don't really like to eat huat kueh .It is simply because it is rough, hard and taste of yeast. But after eating aunty Lily's huat kueh, I 've fallen in love with it. The texture is soft, light, and "QQ" (means springy) when you bite on it. It is not sticky, and no crumbs will fall when you tear or bite on it. Of course the palm sugar also enchanses the flavour of the kueh. She is so sweet and kind to pass me the recipe.
