HONEY CAKE.

this honey cake from tai chung is just sO good, that it deserves a post of its own.

here we go. the golden box. (with address!)

remember that they don’t take orders in advance- one must go there, line up and wait.. it can be up to 2 hours i hear, to get a cake. we were lucky that a friend who went down to taichung for the day, surprised us with this one as a gift. best. gift. evarrr.

the cake, on the day it was made. to be eaten within 4-5 days for best quality. on the first day, before any refrigeration, the cake is slightly softer and spongier.  the fragrant honey flavor is more obvious.

after refrigeration.  i take out a slice and let it sit for a bit, to room temperature, before i enjoy. the honey cake is now more chewy- it takes on a bouncy texture that is quite enjoyable. the honey flavor however, is a bit more subdued.

its been my breakfast, tea and dessert for the past 3 days.

i’m obsessed.
