For me, One of popular desserts eaten during this festive season is 白糖糕 Bak Tong Gou (Cantonese); Bai Tang Gao (Mandarin); White Honeycomb cake (Malay) Steamed Rice Cake 松糕 Also called White sugar sponge cake.
Just follow this step-by-step recipe video, It is made from rice flour, white sugar, water, coconut milk, and yeast for a few hours fermentation and steaming.
It had a coconut flavor and sweet taste.It should be spongy, soft, chewy and unique. the texture is lovely and highly reminiscent.
Although the original Chinese version is contain to water and pandan leaves, but I used coconut milk instead to make this cake taste more fragrant and look more bright and white in colour.
Ingredients:
(A)
1 teaspoon dried yeast
2 tablespoons warm coconut milk, sweetened
(B)
300ml water
300g rice flour
(C)
200ml water
100ml coconut milk or just water instead
200g-240g sugar, optional
(D)
some vegetable oil (lightly greased & sweep a round glass casserole)
Method:

2) In a large bowl, Add (B) water to the rice flour, combine well.
3) In another saucepan, heat over medium high heat, add water, coconut milk and sugar. once boiling, pour hot syrup water into (2) rice flour mixture. stir well and set aside to cool.
4) Add the (1) yeast mixture to the (3) stir until well combined.
