it’s soft, it’s delightfully chewy, and it’s perfectly sweet.

leen goh or nian gao is my favourite once-a-year snack that brings me back to eating it directly out of the pan with my sisters growing up. it’s especially delicious sliced and dipped in whisked eggs before frying to crispy, golden perfection (similar to french toast)! this cake is not to be eaten in large triangular prisms but in domino-sized rectangles, a few pieces at a time.
