This is one of my favorite Chinese goodies that W brings back to me from his trips to Chinatown in New York City. They’re baked sponge cakes—very tender and light and not too sweet, and they go perfectly with tea or coffee at breakfast. Their shape is unique—they seem to be baked in a pan with cone-shaped cups, possibly the kind used to bake ice cream cones.
I’ve been searching for a recipe to make my own, but have yet to find one. If I find it, I’ll try it out and post the results!

Yum – I love Chinese food. I recall having a fantastic Chinese meal in New York City in December 1999. We have a Chinatown in Manchester – I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for similar goodies
Cheers

[...] W is in New York celebrating the holiday with his family, so I may possibly be enjoying these tomorrow when he returns. Yay! I cheer his return, of course, and not the arrival of sponge [...]
