Get baked with Poh

Poh Ling Yeow takes midnight snacking to the next level in her TV series Poh & Co. Rather than simply raiding the fridge for leftovers at 12pm like the rest of us, she pulls out her stand mixer and whisk and gets down to baking some serious treats. So stop rummaging in the cheese drawer for that last parmesan rind and pick up your midnight snacking game with these late-night delights. Poh & Co. airs Thursdays at 8pm on SBS ONE.

2. Feel the beetroot

You put the beetroot in the chocolate and you mix it all up… wait, that's not right. Or is it? According to Poh, it sure is and her beetroot and chocolate cake is so wrong that it is very, very right. Sweet, slightly crimson in colour and terribly delicious, this is one most agreeable way to take get your daily veggie intake.

3. Steamy nights, feeling alright

Adding midnight steaming to her midnight baking repertoire, Poh makes her mum's rice bowl steamed sponge and, boy, does it look like a delicious floaty cloud. If you cook one cake this week, make it this guy.

5. You had us at pisang goreng (fried banana)

If you thought you enjoyed spring rolls before, prepare yourself for the most delicious incarnation yet, Poh’s banana spring rolls with butterscotch sauce. Mash some bananas, roll ’em up, get them bubbling in oil, then douse with velvety butterscotch sauce. We challenge you to stop at one.
