Yau Ban is an online shop where all their food is made in Hong Kong with natural ingredients and no additives.
They specialize in Bowl Feasts (poonchoi) and Chinese new year puddings with a nourishing range of sweet and savory choices.
The one I had was the Brown sugar and ginger pudding 黑糖薑母年糕 which costs $118.
Now the moment of truth!!
Ideally you should dip the slices in egg before frying to give it that firmness but I wanted to try it without the egg first to see what it taste like.
After pan frying the Taiwanese brown sugar pudding slices, the texture was soft yet firm with a lovely chew.
It did not cling to your teeth when you chewed upon it.
As for the taste, I really liked the gingery kick from the ginger juice soothed by the sweetness of the Taiwanese brown sugar while the coconut flavour remained subtle.
Overall not too sweet as claimed so I definitely recommend this and since this place is a foodcourt, I feel that it should also be on the menu during the day as a dish so people can try before they buy.
Other pudding in their range: Wild black wolfberries and red date pudding 黑枸杞棗皇糕, sun dried sausage and scallop pudding 瑤柱臘味蘿蔔糕 , taro pudding 古法芋頭糕 and vegetarian morel mushroom pudding 羊肚菌素蘿蔔糕.
All can be ordered online at @yaubanhk to collected by 11th Feb at Super Gourmet 美食薈超級街市 in Apleichau.
