Grass cake is a special traditional snack in Hong Kong, Guangdong, Taiwan, and southern Fujian. The taste is very soft, chewy and chewy. The glutinous rice outer shell is fragrant and rich, and the delicate filling has a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth texture. The filling is sweet but not greasy, the grains are crystal clear, elegant and generous, and a very healthy snack. Compared with traditional grass cakes, osmanthus grass cakes have the fainter fragrance of osmanthus, which is more refreshing and healthy. The formula uses less sugar and oil. It's easy to feel full but never greasy. It's dry and delicious, and the skin is soft and tough. The filling I use is lotus paste filling, which is completely hand-fried with no additives and is healthier. There is only the elegant afternoon tea like a lady - osmanthus grass cake.
