Sweet offerings from "王家沙", a culinary institution in Shanghai.
Mum was intrigued by these cakes. Sold hard as they were, one has to steam them to soften them for consumption.
The dried fruits are added purely for ornamental purpose. Each steamed cake comes with a sweetened red bean paste filling.
They has a subtle eggy aroma and taste with a slight acidic finish but were nowhere as fluffy and light as the standard steamed egg cakes from the south, especially those found in Hong Kong. Texture-wise, they were a tad gummy and heavy. I suspected rice flour were added.
To me, they tasted like a cross-hybrid of the southern style steamed egg cakes, and the "Wa Ku Kueh", which is (very colourful) steamed rice flour cakes found in Southeast Asia.
Interesting but I wouldn't be going back for more.
The plan was to correct the belvels with a 1 K synthetic stone, which I did, then get this razor shave ready using the red pasted strop...it worked
Henna still on, this design was inspired by AamerJaved's "Shiny Feet." Her's was a lot better! :) I really love this design!
