Ma Lai Go (Cantonese Steamed Sponge Cake)
A favourite Mimi Chinese, Toronto
Traditional fluffy brown sugar steamed sponge cake served warm in a shallow bowl, typically finished tableside with a warm sweet rice/condensed milk custard cream.
This was delectable. Even with the egg inside of it. But it was a chalky egg.
