Signature Original Cake Original Cake from Taiwan has landed in Singapore a week ago! Originated from Tamsui, each castella cake is handmade with ingredients such as eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vegetable oil.
I could already smell the eggy aroma from afar even before seeing the store. With an open kitchen concept, you could also observe the cakes freshly baked and removed from the ovens, the bakers measuring and cutting into approximately 600g portions. You could also see how fluffy these pillow-like castella cakes are amidst the emerging steam.
As I asked around, some thought that the egg flavor too little while some, like myself, found it too strong. My humble basic baking skill tells me that it's the smell of the meringue and that's one really important step in making a good castella cake. The extent of making the meringue, to achieve the soft peaks, are crucial.
Wait till I try the frozen chocolate and the cheese flavors the next time!
