“1000 layers cake?” video of Frank

Frank the tour guide found a traditional but rare dim sum, 1000 layers cake when he went to Tuen Mun New Town to find a local restaurant for the included lunch of the Lantau Island West New Territories full day private tour under planning.

Frank uses his snapshots to make a short video to show you this local delicacy!

1000 layers cake was very popular and common in the 1970s and 1980s when Frank was a little baby.

 

As it is time-consuming and difficult to make this dim sum, it fades away from the long dim sum menu of the local restaurants.

 

Frank is happy to see that a local restaurant in Tuen Mun still have this cake.

The tasty cake actually has four layers of dough.

 

In between the dough layers, there are three layers of paste, which is made by diced salted duck egg yolk, custard, shredded coconut, sesame and melon seed.

 

The dim sum chefs need to steam each layer separately to make the 1000 layers cake!

 

The texture of the cake is sponge.

The cake has a mixture of creamy, sweet and savory taste.

The taste is complicated but prefect!

In the future, clients of the Lantau Island West New Territories full day private tour may enjoy the 1000 layers cake and other local delicacies in this local restaurant during the included dim sum lunch after sightseeing.

Fully vaccinated Frank looks forward to tasting dim sum with clients during Hong Kong private tour after the pandemic.
