2. Original Cake
Hailed from the picturesque Tamsui Old Street in Taiwan, the castella cake has now reached the shores of Malaysia. Now, who says food can’t bridge two countries? Made with fresh eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar and flour, the ingredients may seem simple, but in the simplicity of it all lies a delectable teatime delicacy enjoyed by everyone ❤️
