阿嬷老字號 Egg Sponge Cake @ City Square






If we trace the origins, it dates back to Nagasaki, Japan and its castella cake. Ah Mah brand, however, takes the castella cake and gives it playful spins to the likes of cheese  and even chocolate.

So, brushing the queues in Singapore aside, we headed to Malaysia for a somewhat more brisk queue system and cheaper prices, thanks to the favourable exchange rate.







Just what makes these sponge cakes tick?






The incredibly soft texture, spongey, bouncy and so airy fairy light all at once, plus the aroma that greets any potential buyer nearing the shop. Guiltless pleasures and best eaten within the day.

Well who owns the original recipe seems almost superfluous these days because anything with the label 'egg sponge cake' probably sells faster than Li Ho cups of bubble tea. This food fad probably defines 2017 and does not seem like it is waning any time soon.


The only oddity is Ah Mah is sold under Tong Guan Kopitiam.
