Steamed Mini Green Peas Cake is very soft, moist, tasty and very very similiar to restaurant's mah lai koh酒樓馬拉糕 which we taste in rotterdam dim sum restaurant. I bought these moulds when I was in holiday during summer break and this recipe I found from a cookbooks which my sis gave to me. It is so surprised me and kids which this cake same taste and texture if compare with the resaturant's mah lai koh. Hope you will likes it too.
