Turn Prosperity into Profit with Huat Ke this Chinese New Year Using Family All-Purpose
Flour
In celebration of Chinese New Year, we’re sharing one easy yet profitable product recommendation for bakers and restaurants — a special delicacy that’s simple to prepare,requires minimal ingredients, and offers strong sales potential.
Huat Kueh, a traditional steamed cake whose name translates to “grow cake” or “prosperity cake,” symbolizes good fortune and success — perfect for the festive season.
With all-purpose flour as a key ingredient in creating a modern version of Huat Kueh, choosing the right flour is essential. Philippine Foremost’s Family All-Purpose Flour is known for its quality and consistency, helping bakers achieve reliable results every time.
For a more modern and marketable twist, you can explore exciting flavor variations such as coffee, ube, or other festive options to give customers a colorful and assorted selection.
When making Huat Kueh, selecting an all-purpose flour that provides the right softness and texture is crucial in achieving the ideal steamed cupcake quality. And of course, the famous split or “bloomed” top — a symbol of prosperity — is equally important. Here are some helpful tips:
1. Ensure the water is at a full rolling boil and the steamer is at high heat before placing the batter inside.
2. Avoid opening the steamer within 15-25 minutes, as temperature drops may cause the cake to collapse.
3. You may brush cooking oil or sprinkle granulated sugar on top to encourage a better split effect.
