2:25pm sponge cake

Two doors down from Bluebird Sky Cafe is the New Kam Hing Coffee Shop. It looks sketchy but not when you see the fresh sponge cakes being baked in rows and rows of racks in the back. They're stored in plastic bins but if you tell the guy you want to eat it in the here and now, he might grab one hot from the rack. When eaten piping hot, they will remind you of the hot cakes that we love so.
