pandan pancakes as appies is genius, and the yellowface tie-in is delightfully unhinged lol

These look amazing, but now I’m curious how the Yellowface connection inspired the pandan pancakes?

these look ridiculously good, did the book actually mention pandan pancakes or did you just vibe your way into the perfect appetizer?

Yes they are a major plot point. It’s a fun/haunting read.

pandan pancake appies is exactly the kind of literary adaptation i can get behind, much better than another sad charcuterie board lol

Pandan pancakes as appetizers is a genuinely good bit of literary nonsense.
