Sun Cakes: A Maltose Pastry
Over Chinese New Year (around late January this year), I was introduced to a Taiwanese pastry called sun cakes. This pastry has a maltose filling, and according to www.ifood.tv/network/suncake, they originated from Taichung, Taiwan. However, they were not called ‘suncakes’ until Taiwanese bakery ‘Sunbooth‘ sold them by its name and made them popular.
