I love eating 千層糕 or what is literally translated as Thousand Layer Cake. It’s one of my favourites as far as dimsum is concerned. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to find it in Singapore. Thus every time I’m in Hong Kong or Sydney, I get my 千層糕 fix.
千層糕 is a steamed cake which has layers of salted egg yolk and coconut lotus paste in between the layers of steamed flour. The saltiness of the egg yolk is a good complement to the sweet paste. A good 千層糕 has to have the right balance and be neither too sweet nor salty.
Go here for the recipe (in Chinese) and do let me know if you know where to find this in Singapore!
