My kind neighbour gave us a box of six Hokkaido cupcakes, not so sure how much it cost but she mentioned that she has to queue up very long to get this box of Hokkaido cupcakes! (I think KL people are used to queuing up for food, right?)
Don't know why they were sunken at the middle..
perhaps Quay Po and any other food bloggers know better...
some icing in the middle?
Share and Enjoy... drooling...
That is what I am doing now... hahahaa....
There are two varieties, one is vanilla cream
and the other one with strawberry filling...
first time I saw sunken hakkaido cupcake, it must be very sweet with the icing sugar added on top.
ReplyDeleteKL has got lots of nice food, so they do not mind queuing for something nice I guess, haha..
Quay Po's were Hokkaido orange cupcakes with whisky vanilla custard filling - more special, I guess...but at least, you tried something similar. Nice eh?

The ones you tasted probably from RT Bakery. The filling is just stabilised whipped cream. What I made for Arthur's dinner were with orange whisky custard cream filling and my cake is of orange flavor. A good Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes are suppose to be ultra soft and when you bite into it, the smooth and silky cream inside oozes out into your palate. It is best served cold. The powder on top of the cake should be snow powder not icing sugar. "Snow powder" or "No melt icing sugar" means a type of icing sugar that doesn't melt when it's dusted on items that require refrigeration.
