Crispy Baked Gau
Crispy Baked Gau transforms the traditional steamed New Year dessert into a toasty, oven-baked treat with a caramel warmth from brown sugar and a gentle coconut aroma. The edges develop a faintly crisp bite while the interior stays chewy and tender, speckled with nutty sesame seeds. Ideal for sharing at festive gatherings or as a sweet snack with tea.
