Why the moon?
Across Indonesia, sweet martabak is lovingly called terang bulan — "moonlight" — because the big golden round, fresh off the pan before folding, looks exactly like a full moon.
We make ours the street-stall way: batter rested until it's alive, poured onto a screaming-hot round pan, honeycomb rising through, sugar, butter, and a lid of steam. Folded, sliced, handed over warm.
Bulan Bulan means moon, twice — because once is never enough.
