Is it all from the same company? Or do multiple terrible cake companes all just share the same terrible formula?

    You’re almost certainly correct that it’s just cheap cake. Is Betty Crocker cake really a traditional Chinese dessert? Furthermore, most buffets like this are Americanized ethnic food not traditional dishes.

      Depends on where you go. American-chinese cuisine has its roots in authentic Chinese food, brought by immigrants; immigrants who came to a new place finding unfamiliar ingredients and adapting those ingredients to their old ways of cooking.

      It’s a fascinating history; though the way they were treated was downright awful. (Story of our nation: “Exploit the new guy.”…)
