To be honest I am not a fan of Chinese Hong Kong style cakes.
But this cake in particular is the typical cake for any occasion in Hong Kong and overseas where there is a China Town.
Basically it has two sponge layers which are sweet, soft and taste very eggy.
It has that typical yellow colour with a slight twinge of orange in it.
In between the sponge it is filled with cream mixed with tinned syrupy fruits such as pineapple, grapes and peaches.
The the top layer and the rest of the cake is plastered with this cream again, and the top decorated with slices of mangoes, blueberries, strawberries.
There is too much cream in proportion to the cake, and the cream tastes weird to be honest.
But for those who are locals or expats living overseas this is the cake for them.
