Terang Bulan
"Terang Bulan" (Indonesian for "Bright Moon") is a song from the late 19th century originating from French-controlled territories in the Indian Ocean.
History
The song was composed by Pierre-Jean de Béranger (1780–1857), a French lyricist. It became a popular French melody, and was prominent on the island of Mahé, in what is now the Seychelles. The song's popularity spread across the Indian Ocean and reached as far as Maritime Southeast Asia early in the 20th century.
In 1901, the tune (as Allah Lanjutkan Usia Sultan) was presented as the anthem of Perak during the coronation of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. In the 1920s, an Indonesian Bangsawan (Malay opera presented by a troupe/theatre company) debuted the song in Singapore.
The melody became popular and was given its present name, becoming an enduring Malay evergreen at parties and cabarets in the 1920s and 1930s. Since the independence of the Federation of Malaya in 1957, public performances of the song and its melody have outlawed, as any such use is proscribed by statute.
Apam balik
Apam balik (may be known as 'Turnover Pancake' in English) or also known as Martabak Manis,Terang Bulan,Apam Pulau Pinang,Kue Bandung(in Semarang and it's surrounding area), Kuih Haji (in certain areas), Min Chiang Kueh, Hok Lo Pan,Ban Jian Kuih or Chin Loong Pau is a type of griddle pancake common in Southeast Asia. Apam Balik is usually sold at specialist roadside stalls throughout Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.
Description
The pancake's batter is made from the mixture of flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, coconut milk and water. The batter is cooked upon a thick round iron frying pan in plenty of palm margarine to avoid it stuck to the pan. Then other ingredients are sprinkled upon the pancake, such as sugar, peanut granules, chocolate sprinkles, sesame, or cheddar cheese. The content might be only one kind or combination of these fillings; the most common is peanut granules filling, but chocolate sprinkle combo and cheddar cheese are also available. The cake is also named terang bulan because of the big round pancake (prior of folding) resembles full moon. Then, the pancake is folded (hence the name is "turnover pancake") and cut into several pieces. The texture of Apam Balik is akin to a crispier form of crumpets.

The first dwelling in the township area was built in 1840 by Donald McNicol, and consisted of a slab hut on the east bank of Lake Terang. The township was developed in the late 1850s, the post office opening on 1 March 1859.
The railway though the town was opened in 1887. From 1890 it was extended as part of Victoria's south-western line. The Mortlake line once branched from the town, opened in 1893 and closed in 1978. The local railway station is served by V/Line passenger services on the Warrnambool line.
