*Steaming process:
- Grease the mould with oil (the mistake i made here is that after oiling, i steamed the mould and then pour in the layer.Because the mould is too hot, it makes the first layer bubbly)
- Pour in a layer of pandan mixture, then steam for 10-15 minutes or until it turn out clear, but not overcooked.

-Then pour in a layer of mung bean mixture. Repeat the steps until the mould is full.You can make as many layers as you want to

- Leave to completely cool and un-mould the cake
