I was at the Bosco Cake Salon counter at HK Supermarket surveying their Western-style baked products when I came across the label “Orange Cimon” with hangul 오렌지 시몬 (orenji shimon). It was a thickly flat rectangle. Something new for me to try???
Asked the seller about the name but she simply explained how that pastry’s texture was denser/stickier than that of kastera. No clue was to where the name came from. The novelty was a great excuse to buy it. Price: $2.50.
So I went home and puzzled over it until finally it dawned me that it was 시폰케이크 (shipon keikuh), which is chiffon cake. I must admit I can’t tell whether something is angel cake, chiffon cake, sponge cake or foam cake. I just eat and enjoy it if it’s good.
Bosco Cake Salon’s take on chiffon cake is sweet and delicious. But it’s the sort of food kids are forbidden to eat too much of by their parents. Orange you glad to be an adult who decides for herself what she can eat?
