It sold colorful put chai ko (砵仔糕). Not the usual brown sugar and red bean versions that I'm used to. They were all colors and flavors. They were $9 each or $24 for three.
They also sold like cakes of various flavors. The owner explained they were silk strand cakes. These were $15 for three and came in various flavors.
Boyfriend and I decided to get a put chai ko.
This is osmanthus. It was slightly sweet and had the fragrant taste of the osmanthus tea.
I wanted something different so chose Kyoho grape flavor. I liked this flavor a lot! It was like eating jelly and I love jelly! So, this was more like having grape jelly on a stick. What a great combination!
I was curious about the silk cakes so we bought a cheese flavor one as it was fresh from the oven. I wondered if it would really pull apart with a string-like consistency as the photo at the store showed. Did it? Yes, it did! The cheese flavor wasn't very strong. And it had a strange texture we couldn't put a finger on. A texture that seemed familiar but we didn't know where we've had it before. It was an interesting cake.
Small little street snacks that offer something a little different than the other places. I'd definitely be back for the put chai ko.
