My friend gave me this bag with two mooncakes during a gift-exchange.
Royal Fairy - Lotus Paste fillings with some mung bean fillings. It is supposed to have fragrant Kwei Hua sugar syrup added to the fillings to enhance its taste.
Shanghai Moon cake.
Cross-section.
Yellow patch of mung bean fillings.
We used to be able to get Overseas' mooncakes here, Tai Thong, Baker's Cottage...all the well-known names but not anymore. Nobody buying, I guess - too expensive.
ReplyDeleteno demand. :(
DeleteHappy mid-autumn to you, Mun. The Shanghai mooncake looked lovely. I thought Shanghai mooncake was with flaky skin but apparently not.
ReplyDeletethis one has short crust pastry skin it seems.
DeleteThe bag is nice to carry. Am I getting an exchange with you??
ReplyDeleteLast night I went to Starling hoping to get lelong & clearance moon cakes for the All Nuts flavour. I was stunned to hear that everything was sold out except this All Nuts and Chocolate flavours which were so unpopular. I happily bought few few nutty ones.
