Muffins complete me. you can have them for breakfast, as a snack, and my fav: add some ice cream and you've got dessert. mama bear had some bananas lying around that were ready to be baked, I had been craving banana bread, so my chocolate chip banana muffins came to life. 

I’ve paired these chocolate chip banana muffins with Yong Mun Sen. Yong Mun Sen is widely known as the Father of Malaysian Painting he trained in formal Chinese brush painting and calligraphy. He was one of the founders of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, then Malaya.
