Taiwanese black pepper flavoured cake @ 南城北市

胡椒餅 (wu jiu beng) black pepper cake is a taiwanese snack composed of meat marinated with sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, and scallions encased in a large, flaky biscuit-like pastry, the pastry is not leavened with yeast.

On first bite of the cake, it was hard and flaky, similar to the wife cake, but harder.

Then inside it was filled with aromatic spring onions and rich sauce, but not dripping out.

Overall, the dryness of the pastry and sesame covered top was compensated by the filling inside the cake which was moist.

If the pepper wasnt that strong, it would taste better, all I could taste was the bitterness from the pepper.
