I love this delicious dessert and most of the time my Chinese meal isn’t complete if I don’t order this at the end. In Nairobi, my friends Jitesh and Aarty’s restaurant, Taste of China, does fabulous date pancakes worth trying out. Seriously!
I tried these out at home. While they didn’t turn out nasty I know I couldn’t compare them to the ones I’ve had at Taste of China.
