Song gao'' (;
Shanghainese: ''Son
1-kau
1'', ) is a
Shanghai snack composed of
rice flour, sugar, and water, with
azuki beans embedded throughout the cake. Giant pink-colored azuki beans with a
diameter of about are embedded on top of the cake; conventional sized azuki beans are embedded inside the cake. The cake also has a
red bean (azuki) paste filling. This dessert is
steamed, as a large round cake and is then partitioned into sections for eating.
Soong Mei-ling, who loved to eat ''song gao'', had the
Grand Hotel of Taipei to include her version of the cake on the hotel's menu, which the hotel continues to offer to this day.
