A short clip of my birthday

In Chinese Hokkien tradition - people like me - we serve mee sua when celebrating birthdays. Mee sua is a type of thin long salted noodles that signifies long life and it is usually cooked with chicken drumstick and two eggs. The two eggs symbolizes fertility and life. Since i will be dining out today, i cooked mee sua and baked a cake yesterday as a small celebration at home. Table for 3 at restaurant Kitchen & Table (New York inspired restaurant by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson) at Malmö Live.
The cake is moist, very rich in chocolate and with a hint of banana fragrance. It is super easy to bake and can be done within 1.5hrs.
