My Checkered Cake Memories｜The first time I made my own checkered cake

I don’t know when I first ate checkered cakes in my memory. When I was a child, I didn’t have any surplus at home, let alone checkered cakes. The prizes given - hamburger candies, when classmates bought snacks they gave them.

The first time I remembered the checkered cake was when I graduated from elementary school and the class said that they wanted to organize a party. Each person would go to the restaurant to rent a buffet for about 100 yuan. More than 100 yuan was an exorbitant price for me at that time. , To be honest, if it's not for gregariousness, I'm really reluctant to spend this money to go to the hotel for dinner.

Of course, there are no photos of what happened so many years ago, and I have no memory of which restaurant I went to and what it looked like. The only thing I remember is that it was the first time I made checkered pancakes and drank coffee . Children are curious about things that are not allowed. Graduating from elementary school is like getting a pass to drink coffee. I clearly remember the first sip of coffee that day (the hotel gave black coffee of course), I was deeply suspicious. Why do some people like to drink coffee, it is too bitter!

As a result, now I'm drinking black coffee while typing.

On how time can change a person.

The restaurant doesn't have a clerk standing next to the machine to help you make the checkered biscuits, they put the slurry in the jug, we heat the machine ourselves, pour the slurry in and wait for it to be done.

Unlike many people who have a heat press at home now, it was amazing to see a traditional checkered cake machine that could be DIYed by yourself in those days.

DIY is more fun than taste.

At a party, I have no memory of teachers and classmates. I only remember that coffee is very hard and it is amazing to make checkered cakes by myself...

I really don't have a big feeling about switching environments, and in retrospect, it's no wonder people say I'm indifferent, but how sad do I need to be? I didn’t have any contact with my classmates who I was with every day at that time after I was in high school. No one was very enthusiastic about others. Everyone had their own new life. I deliberately emphasized separation emotions. It’s strange to ask why you don’t care about human beings. Just being honest with myself.

After that time, it probably took me many years to eat the checkered cake. It was like this in my memory. One day, I saw the price of the checkered cake on the street was very cheap. It only sold for a dozen yuan. It was a price I was willing to buy. It's a very old street shop. The two aunties stood chatting in the store. I went up to buy a checkered cake. She took it out from a plastic box similar to an incubator and gave it to me. There were quite a few students next to me who wanted to buy it. I didn't have high hopes for the chunky checkered pie, and it wasn't made on the spot, as long as it wasn't soft, I felt pretty good.

I didn't expect the checkered cake to be delicious! Not only is it hot, but it is still crunchy when you bite into it. The peanut butter and condensed milk on the outside are not very sweet, and they are a bit salty. You won’t get tired of eating a single serving. The old-looking box is good for keeping food. Eating magic.

This checkered cake shaped the taste of the checkered cake as I remember it.

Now, of course, I know that there are many more exquisite and delicious checkered cakes, and there are also different flavors and shapes, but when it comes to the most classic checkered cakes, it is this shop with a very affordable price on the street.

It's a pity that the store is no longer there.

What we really remember in our memory, the beauty we want to cherish, how much can we capture?
