An Unusual Birthday Cake with a Chinese twist?
My sister & bro-in-law took a few photos from my Mum's (something)th birthday 点心/饮茶 breakfast extravaganza back in Brisbane last weekend.
The photos were a good way for me to catch up with the day's celebrations as I am the bad son and couldn't make it back for both my Dad & Mother's birthdays in the last few weeks. But this one took the cake so to speak.
A 蛋挞 birthday cake?
I like these, but my Mum loves them a lot more than myself.
I was thinking that a Chinese person seeing this photo would shake their head. "Candles on an egg tart? Crazy foreigners!" It goes to show that each culture takes in a part of another, and puts their own unique twist on things.
A few pertinent links from Wikipedia (via Anonymouse)...
Egg Tarts, Yum cha, and Dim Sum.

It looks like the photo was taken in Shanghai!
