Panikeke

   Panikeke

I inspected the panikeke’s oily golden outer layer. It was lumpy and uneven and was not hard and did not seem to be crispy either, but seemed to have a thick layer on the outside. It seemed as if it wanted to be a ball but something went wrong and it was a misshaped ball instead. There were squiggly golden brown figures that looked like fried worms sticking out of the outer shell. It was like a potato growing roots from it. I felt my hands become oily from holding it and finally took a bite. 

Mmm I devoured it happily as I chewed on the outer layer and took in the savory taste of the inside. I could feel and taste the moist white cake texture. After finishing the bite, I found that it had purple strings that were as  thin as a strand of hair among the white inside but I now know it's just bits of banana. But the white inside tasted like a cake, it was almost like I was eating an actual cake!

The golden outer and creamy moist inside was certainly a flavourful treat and it had satisfied my taste buds.
