Ling’s Sweet Mini Cakes

Looks like the price has gone up to $ 1.25 for 15 pieces, but it’s still a damn good deal. Sure, it’s just a bunch of little dough spheres but they’re fresh and piping hot and super quick. Zero nutritional value but if you’re wandering down Canal and want a sweet treat to munch on it’s a great choice. A much better value than a fake Fendi!

I became utterly obsessed with Ling’s mini cakes while visiting New York. You can’t beat the price and the quality! I’ve been searching everywhere for some in Florida. If you’re in the area you MUST TRY!

How can you go wrong with these tasty and hot made to order mini cakes.
You get 15 pieces for $ 1.
Make sure you finish them when they’re still hot and warm.

The hubs gets me these cakes very often since the cart is located really close to his office. By the time it gets to Jersey City from Canal street, its nowhere near hot but it is still every bit as delicious as it is while having it at the cart. The cakes are really airy and light and even if you eat all 15 pieces of it, you will definitely have space for more.(or maybe I am just a fatty with a bottomless pit for a stomach).At 15 pieces for $ 1,this is going to be one of the most satisfying ways you have ever spent a dollar. Now, don’t tell me that I didn’t warn you but these lil munchies are addictive, so much so that you just might end up making your way to Chinatown just for these yum treats.

$ 1 for 15 pieces. One. Dollar. Fifteen. Pieces. How can it get any better than that? I’ve been coming to this food cart for… gosh, 10+ years now, ever since I was a little kid!
The little cakes are sweet and fluffy and airy and really light. It probably costs them way less than a dollar to make each batch, but they don’t overcharge ridiculously like some other places I’ve been to. The line can be a bit long sometimes, but it goes very, very quickly!

One Sunday afternoon was on my way to grab bubble tea at Kung Fu Tea when I passed by this cart and smelled the great scent of the sweet mini cakes. After I picked up my bubble tea, I decided to line up for the sweet mini cakes.
By the time I was done paying, there were already 5 – 7 other people lined up behind me waiting for the cakes.
$ 1.00 for 15 pieces — great deal! Freshly made, delicious, and inexpensive sweet treat. Can’t ever go wrong.

Excellent snack food while walking around Chinatown, Tribeca or Little Italy. Fun to wait on line and watch them make these inexpensive little cakes.

Can’t really go wrong with the price: 15 pieces for $ 1.00 (though I remember when it was 20 pieces…)
On the corner of Mulberry and Canal lies the dessert palace of street food. I’ve been going here since I was a child, searching for them every time I was in Chinatown. There’s a reason for this — light, fluffy, sweet and made to order, what more do you need? This is the first time I’ve been and there was a line, perhaps these cakes have grown popularity through the years.
Definitely a must if you’re in the area! They taste like mini sweet pancake puffs. Cooked just right, you’ll find the perfect crunch and happiness.
GOOD:
–So cheap! 15 pieces for $ 1.00
–Many longtime customers always come back!
–Quick street food when there’s no line
–here rain or shine most days
BAD:
–used to be hard to find as they were always in random areas in Chinatown but I think they’ve settled at the corner of Mulberry and Canal
–long line when I came, but usually no wait

Love the mini cakes here!
[[ $ 1 for 15 pcs. ]]
Been coming here since I was young. Think they might have changed owners but the taste definitely hasn’t changed!
Freshly made all day!
A tasty treat on the go!
It hits the spot!
Just got myself a bag after getting off the Canal Street train station.
Satisfied.

I’m always happy when I find this little stall selling the best street snack! It always smells so good and even if you’re full, you have to get some. They’re these small round balls of fluffy goodness that taste like waffles. I think you get 15 for a dollar. It’s so worth it especially when it’s cold out cause they’re warm and sweet. Makes your mouth happy!

Picked up a bag of cakes while walking around the area. A nice tasty snack to have while you walk around. Just the right amount of sweetness.
