First time buying, looks ok

weee.7191923

It feels like a fluffy sponge cake. It's not too sweet, which is nice, but since it's vacuum-packed in a bag, I feel like I can smell a slight plastic smell every time I chew on it, which is a bit disappointing.

Regent Ube Cake 10pcs 200 g

For the fan of unique treats, Regent Ube cake is an unexpected delight. Distinctive in purple hue, it's often mistaken for an "ugly cake". Taste penetrates its unassuming exterior: ube, an Asian yam, provides a sweet, subtle flavor. Conveniently pre-packaged, it's a grab-and-go exotic dessert delight. Pair it with tea or use it in varied Asian dessert recipes to please sophisticated taste buds. Its unexpected beauty redefines the meaning of "ugly cake". Delightfully surprising, deliciously exotic.

天梯

We ordered this item a few times already and we liked it. Will more than likely order it again.

viramirez

The packaging is eye-catching and the idea of an ube-filled sponge cake is promising, but sadly the texture falls short. The cake itself is noticeably dry and crumbly, lacking the soft, moist bite you’d expect from something described as “luscious” and “delectable.” The ube flavor is there, but it’s faint and doesn’t do much to save the dryness. It might work with coffee or tea, but on its own, it’s more of a letdown than a treat.

Christian

Great packaging! Both my sons love this.

Tiffany 蕭

It is actually honey cake and it’s too much for a taste of honey( strong flavor). I would add some fresh fruit and whipped cream on it to make it less honey taste.
