Delicious, delicious, delicious. I can't recommend this, highly enough. Wow was this good. Excellent, textures and the flavor was outstanding. Quick and easy to make. I certainly understand why it is a favourite of the Pacific. It sure is a treasure. We enjoyed it at room temperature with a little butter and also toasted, it was perfection, served both ways. Light, tender, moist, great crumb, with little flecks of orange and ginger, studded with pineapple and sweet mango. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe BakinBaby.
