Put chai ko (HK Bowl Rice Pudding), the name we say it in Cantonese meaning that a rice pudding made inside the mini bowl., it is a  sweet glutinous rice pudding with red beans most of the time. Milk was not popular and rice is the main diet for Chinese society, so rice pudding will not contain any milk product.
It is a popular snack in Hong Kong. The pudding cake is palm size and is sweet in taste. Unlike western type pudding, it is spongy and chewy, and can hold its molded shape outside of a bowl. Traditionally, the hawker inserts two bamboo skewers into the cake to turn it out and the eater holds the skewers to consume.

The cake is made from white or brown sugar, long-grain rice flour with a little wheat starch or cornstarch. Most of the time, red beans are added for better flavour. The batter is poured into porcelain bowls and steamed until cooked through. Then it is let cooled and served at room temperature.  But nowadays, most Put Chai Ko are sold in plastic bags. Modern innovations of this traditional snack have introduced new flavours such as pumpkin and green tea.
