I love Cantonese sponge cake; and, anyone familiar with this type of cake can see that this Tim Ho Wan version is upper level stuff. That fermentation, that brown color, that extra fluffiness sets it apart.
i was lucky enough to eat at this tim ho wan a few years ago. definitely one of the best dim sum restaurants i've tried and i have yet to eat any other sponge cake as good as this.
About a month ago, I visited Macau, that was my first time ever venturing into a casino, and off to the side there’s a Tim Ho Wan restaurant right there next to the casino. Literally, “add luck” to those who gamble there.
Subtitled as Cantonese Sponge Cake yet it is called it Malay cake… Cantonese only came by mid 19th century, so if it did come from Malaya, its ancestor would have been Huat Kue/ Fatt Koh.
@@auwli no source, just speculating. There is really no other traditional steamed cake in Malaysia older than Moho and Huat Kue. Regardless wheat flour was a very rare commodity prior to 20th century so I think most of them were invented during the turn of century.
What are some classic dim sum dishes we should cover next🥢?
Chicken Feet
It's called "Malay Ko" In Cantonese. In Mandarin it's "Ma La Kao".

Tim Ho Wan sounds like Canto Tim Horton's.
