Put chai ko (Chinese: 缽仔糕 or 砵仔糕; Cantonese Yale: buht jái gōu) is a popular snack in Hong Kong.^[1] It is a rice cake made from white or brown sugar, long-grain rice flour with a little wheat starch or cornstarch. Sometimes red beans are also added. The batter is poured into porcelain bowls and steamed until cooked through. Then it is allowed to cool and served at room temperature. Traditionally, the hawker inserts two bamboo skewers into the cake to turn it out and the eater holds the skewers to consume. At present, most put chai ko are sold in plastic bags.^{[clarification needed]}
