We love pancakes both the traditional thin ones which we called mee hoon kueh in Hokkien as well as thick fluffy ones which were made by beating the egg white and folding it into the pancake batter. Both of these are sweet pancakes. Some people prefer the savoury ones, for example, the Green Onion Chinese Pancake.
