Recipe Two - Spring Onion Cakes

Dear friends. Here is the 2nd recipe I did on 2nd November 2011. Spring Onion cakes. It looks like kuih cekodok udang and tastes like it a little. Here is how the asian mini cookbooks version looks like.

I didn't really follow the actual measurements of the recipe and just followed my heart. So here is my version of the Spring Onion Cakes.
