| Image 1: Steamed mango cake |
Food Synopsis: Light sponge with mango flavour in a muffin shape, with 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get" mango pieces scattered on the curved top of the cake. Sponge was slightly too sweet for my liking, but probably attributed to my liking for milder flavours. Cake bounced back easily when squashed with a finger and was very 'light', as in, didn't have that oily feeling as with oven-baked cakes. Reminded me of a mango spinoff of "Malaysian cake" (Mah Lai Goh) served in a Western, muffin-shape style.
This cake really could've done with mango pieces throughout the cake. Although, I probably should've learned after purchasing a raisin loaf with a total of 10 raisins throughout the entire 500g loaf that Hong Kong breads/cakes/muffins with additional fruit/nut pieces are merely to describe their scant presence in the product. Maybe it's being cheap, or maybe its just the way it is.
