Is Hong Kong chicken cake crispy or soft?

Hong Kong chicken cakes are crispy. Chicken cake is one of the four famous cakes in Guangdong. Among the almost all round cakes, it shows a unique beauty. The skin is thin and the filling is less, so it tastes crisper. Hong Kong Chicken Cake is derived from Guangzhou's famous chicken cake, formerly known as Xiaofeng Cake. It is said that it was created by a female worker named Xiaofeng from a wealthy family named Wu in Xiguan, Guangzhou during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. It became a famous cake half a century later. Due to the poor sales of Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes at Chengzhu Teahouse in Guangzhou and Henan, the cake-making chef was quick to make the mooncakes according to the Xiaofeng cake method. He boldly mixed the battered mooncakes with pork and cabbage as fillings, and then mixed them with southern ingredients. Milk, minced garlic, pepper, five-spice powder and salt are used to create a new variety of Chengzhu Xiaofeng Cake, which is sweet yet salty, sweet and crispy. It is favored by customers for its unique flavor and crispiness. Xiaofeng cake is shaped like a chick, so it is also called chicken cake. Later, further improvements were made to ensure refined production and improved packaging, canning or boxing, and exported to Southeast Asia.
