Moon Pancake
A partial literal translation of terang bulan (Indonesian)(another name for hok lo pan and apam balik)(sometimes called martabak manis since this is usually sold together by martabak booths/stands). This is a pancake that filled with chocolate, condensed creamer, or cheese, or a combination of them (btw, cheese and chocolate combination tastes great). The fillings can be anything sweet, including milo powder. Usually spread with butter or margarine on the inside, right after being pulled from the cast iron pan
Terang bulan = moonshine
Terang bulan is a pancake, it named in that way because it resembles a full moon, so:
Moonshine + pancake = moon pancake (the word "shine" is removed to make it sounds better)
But this term is uncommon or rarely used, and has already taken by some Indonesian for her art business as a handle, and you might find her instead if you try to search this term

So, I discovered a small artist named "Moon Pancake" when I was playing Instagram. I forgot from where I discovered her, but usually I watch artists and journaling accounts stories to discover new artists and they usually share artists artworks. Also, sometimes I follow random artists from recommended list and post discovery or explore feature
I guessed that the name came from a cake called "terang bulan" since she's an Indonesian (and btw, Chinese Indonesian or Chindo, and as usual, many artists with similar art styles are Chinese or East Asian for some reason). She has two handles: this handle is for her shop (has an orange mascot) and another one, which I forgot, is for her illustration account and she had illustrationed a book. She's also sell globally

Enough talking about that artist. So, this pancake has many variations, including the one that served like a pizza and sometimes has a separate topping for each slice. A son of Joko Widodo (Indonesian president, 2014-2024), has a terang bulan / moon pancake business called "Markobar" and sells the cake with various toppings
