The Rise of Plantain Banana Farming in Murang’a: Lessons for Small-Scale Farmers

A section of farmers in Maragua constituency Murang’a County are steadily embracing plantain banana farming and ditching the age-old common bananas. According to Fredrick Kinyanjui who has ditched the normal banana farming in favour of plantain, the normal bananas have continued to fetch less profits for the farmer over the years. He says he diversified to plantains after registering losses for…

Had the silliest idea while making breakfast.. what if Damian’s Favorite Brother is Tim, but for the Dumbest Reason...pancakes

My idea is that Tim is Damian’s favorite brother, but not for the reasons one might expect. It’s not because of Tim’s skill, his smarts, or his ability to stay three steps ahead in every fight. Nope. Damian’s real reason for favoring Tim over Dick, Jason, or even Bruce is much simpler.

It’s because Tim makes the best pancakes. Like, legendary pancakes.

Not even kidding.

One morning, Tim casually whips up a batch of pancakes in the kitchen—y’know, because Alfred’s off running errands and the rest of the family doesn’t know the first thing about breakfast beyond opening a box of cereal, and Tim's been feeding himself since he was six. So Tim steps up to the stove, and bam—fluffy, golden stacks of heaven.

Damian, who never really cared for breakfast, takes one bite of Tim’s pancakes and is sold. From that moment on, he’s obsessed.

“Drake, you will make me those pancakes again tomorrow."

And Tim just blinks, completely confused, but shrugs it off like, “Uh, sure?”

The next morning, Damian’s right there in the kitchen, bright and early, waiting for his daily dose of pancake perfection. By the third day, he’s even dragging a chair next to Tim, watching like a hawk as Tim cooks, making sure he’s using the right ingredients.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Batfamily is just like, “Really? This is the thing that bonds them?”

Tim, being Tim, just rolls with it. He doesn’t ask questions. If Damian wants pancakes, Damian gets pancakes. He’s just trying to survive his new role as “Pancake Master.”

But Damian? Oh, he’s serious about this.

Damian tells anyone who will listen that Tim is the only one who knows how to make breakfast properly. He’ll give the other brothers side-eye anytime they dare to suggest they could cook for him. Even Alfred raises an eyebrow, but Damian’s already set: Tim’s pancakes or nothing.

What’s even funnier is that when Damian gets pissed off at anyone, he refuses to eat their cooking. But Tim? Untouchable. The one person who can screw up as many times as he wants and still be in Damian’s good graces—because those pancakes? Irreplaceable.

So, while the Batfamily argues over strategy, patrols, or who gets to drive the Batmobile, Damian's priorities are clear:

"You’re all amateurs. Drake’s the only one who makes pancakes worthy of the Wayne name.”

And now, Tim’s been promoted to Damian’s favorite brother for the silliest reason imaginable. But hey, if the key to Damian’s heart is pancakes, Tim’s got that title locked down.

The pop-up Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (吉祥红龟粿) stall in Sun Plaza never fails to attract us with their colourful range of kuehs. Mum picked up some Peanut Ang Ku Kuehs (front row) and Sweet Bean Ang Ku Kuehs (back row). These traditional glutinous rice snacks are sticky and soft, packed with fillings. Best eaten on the day of purchase or keep it in the fridge then steam it.

Me, I am intrigued by these blue and white lumps of glutinous rice snacks. The inside is filled with gula melaka sweetened desiccated coconut. I couldn’t find any information on it but the nearest I came across is Pulut Inti (Steamed Glutinous Rice with Coconut Topping). Taste wise, it is comparable but lose out on the banana leaf fragrance as it uses paper wrappers.

This Labubu doll craze is taking the whole world by storm. Even Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh is coming out with a set of seven Labubu Ang Ku Kuehs (S$60) with a choice of peanut, sweet bean or mixture of the two fillings. If you just want to buy one piece, it will cost you S$10.

The Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh (吉祥红龟粿) pop up stall at Sun Plaza has a table full of colourful Kuehs or Kuihs (粿). It is a fairly broad term which may include items that would be called cakes, cookies, dumplings, pudding, biscuits, or pastries in English and are usually made from rice or glutinous rice. Picked up four vivid red Peanut Ang Ku Kuehs and two green Coconut Ang Ku Kuehs for a total of S$9. Peeling away the square of banana leaf and taking a bite, the skin is so soft and stretchy. Both the grounded peanut and sweetened desiccated coconut fillings are so fragrant but not overly sweet.
