Tasty Mini Pudding (Wun Chai Koh)
Mini Pudding or Wun Chai Koh in Cantonese are popular traditional street Chinese desserts which you can find in morning markets in Malaysia. Wun Chai Koh literally translate as cakes in small little bowls or cups but they are more pudding than they are cake. These Chinese traditional food are steamed Chinese dessert recipes or Oriental recipes which are generally enjoyed as breakfast. Chinese folks usually prefer to sprinkle the puddings generously with grated coconut before savouring them. My late grandmother loved her Wun Chai Kohs immensely and would eat them with plenty of grated coconut and would buy them by the loads for all in the family.
