Nostalgia doesn’t get better than this. If you really want to experience a slice of Singapore’s history, you really need to head for Tanglin Halt Market and try the peanut pancake there. The old couple who has been selling the Peanut Pancake there tell me that they don’t use commercial yeast to make their batter. Instead, they have been using a mother starter which has been passed down from the previous generation and can trace a lineage back to the 60′s!

What does that all mean? What’s so great about a mother starter? Get the lowdown in ieatishootipost.
