There are soft cakes, sponge cakes, radish cakes, taro cakes, water chestnut cakes and rice cakes…all of which are steamed and incredibly delicious.

Radish Cakes

A favorite dim sum among the citizens of Guangzhou. Radish Cakes are made from glutinous rice flour and shredded radish. Most families make Radish Cakes during the Chinese Lunar New Year though restaurants offer them all year round.

Water Chestnut Cakes

Cakes made of water chestnut are mostly see-thru and clear, with a crisp and elastic covering which is done to an attractive golden color.
