We've all been home a lot more over the pandemic, and that means more meals at home! So to get you cooking a little more (even if you've never done so), our host Jun is dishing up some simple and fun recipes to try. This week, he's making a matcha apam balik. Think of that streetside classic with a burnished crust, made earthier and slightly more grassy and complex with the addition of matcha and red bean! So join us through this ASMR journey, and let Jun know on Instagram (@jun.and.tonic) if you made it!

So to get you cooking a little more (even if you've never done so), our host Jun is dishing up some simple and fun recipes to try. This week, he's making an olive oil cake. It's a surprisingly simple recipe that results in a supple, moist cake with a bit of citrus thrown in too. So join us through this ASMR journey, and let Jun know on Instagram (@jun.and.tonic) if you made it!
