Recipe – Healthy (Yet Delicious!) Steamed Banana Cake

 

I completed part one of my dental implant surgery last Wednesday, so I took a week’s medical leave to rest at home. The last surgery was bone grafting to prepare for this current one. But it didn’t go as expected. I am supposed to drill in two screws this time but because of bone loss, I can only drill in one screw and had to do more bone grafting.

 

I shan’t bore you with the procedures but basically, I was disappointed because it means I have to go through one more additional surgery to put in another screw. Not only was it painful, it was also painful to my wallet. Oh wells, I think I have to save up more.

 

Surgery this time was definitely much more painful than the previous one. And to make things worse, I was diagnosed with gastric flu and a fever, so I vomited and had diarrhea for many days. To make my mood better, I decided to steam some banana cakes after I got better.

Well, I haven’t buy a oven yet lah so I was brainstorming ideas to do steamed cakes. The simplest one is definitely banana steamed cake, easy to make and well liked by many. Thanks to Amanda for the banana cake recipe, I tried it out over the weekends and everyone loves it!
