I only buy cakes from Chinese bakeries when something unusual is sold.
I found the stick cake quite interesting even though its appearance is nothing like a stick.
It was a rectangular cake with a thin strip of sauce in the centre.
From the side view you can see there is not much sauce in proportion to the cake which was fine for me because too much would have made it too sweet because the cake is sweet itself.
For the stick series there were four flavours: strawberry, blueberry, chocolate and coffee.
I bought the blueberry and chocolate, next to these cakes I saw a chocolate walnut cake so I got that as well.

Blueberry stick cake
The cake was nice and soft and did not have that typical Chinese buttery smell for which I was quite grateful, and the sweetness of the blueberry jam was just right.
The only let down was that it was so oily. You can see the layer of oil that has soaked in the cake.
For the chocolate version it is hard to see the extent of the oil because the cake is brown.
Chocolate and walnut cake
This must be the best Chinese cake slice I have hard, the cake texture was firm and again there was none of that Chinese buttery smell and taste, and the walnut paired nicely with the chocolate cake.
Chocolate stick cake
The chocolate cake with cream was not as nice as the blueberry one because I did not like the cream, however it was also oily as well.
