'For me, chiffon cake is very tied to Singapore and Malaysia and my food memories. Growing up, my siblings and I fought over pandan chiffon cake!' says Chiew about the inspiration behind her new short story, which is available to listen on BBC Radio this month. Photo: Nodesserts
During the pandemic lockdown, a Malaysian-born Singaporean-based author was craving for cake. This became the inspiration for a short story that was recently read on BBC Radio.
The Seductive Properties Of Chiffon Cake by Elaine Chiew, had been specially commissioned for Spice, a series of stories for radio using the idea of "spice" as a theme or starting point. The story was read on BBC Radio on June 28 by London-based Zimbabwean actress Chipo Chung (Doctor Who, Into The Badlands).
