hmmm, now i know what 鳳凰酥 is.. but then i think i would prefer 鳳梨酥 because i don't fancy the egg yolks.. more pineapple stuffing is better mah, no meh?? haha!! :D
Ah, SK did click on the link of the shop to read, so he knows. Good, good. Oh, so SK does not like salted egg yolks. Good then, no need to be scared of high cholesterol. Good for Hayley too.
you know?? people always like mooncake with egg yolks, but i am one who hate that, haha!! i will always get the plain ones without yolk, or if i happen to have one with yolk, i sure korek the yolk out and give it to whoever loves it, haha~~
Then might as well give the whole mooncake with egg yolks as gift to other people because they are more expensive instead of korek the yolk out, hehehe.
haha, no lah, what i mean was sometimes we cut out a piece to be shared, and there is yolk in the mooncake, so i sure korek that out to give to others who fancy yolk.. i happily eat my "hollow" mooncake without yolk~~ :D
actually the lotus paste or the pineapple stuff are more expensive than the egg yolk lah, and yet those with egg yolks are selling at higher price than the plain ones.. :p
I think it is because of the preparation effort and time. I remember the sifu in Restoran Oversea said the egg yolks require lower heat for baking, so the baking time for moon cake with egg yolk is longer. And you need skills to insert the yolk properly into the cake to avoid breaking.
I've eaten pineapple cakes many times (from Taiwan or Macau), but I've never seen egg yolk incorporated inside.. I like salted egg yolks, in my mooncake, "harm yok jung", everything, so I think I will like these too..
Taiwan really has lots of varieties on pineapple tarts, right? Now with egg yolk.. hmmm.. I think eat one piece also full already.. shall we share half half? :)
Are you sure it's not salted egg tart? 咸蛋酥...
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the link of the shop, you can see that this is 鳳凰酥.

ReplyDeleteIf they use genuine lotus paste I think maybe more expensive than egg yolk but are pineapples more expensive than egg yolk? That I am not sure.

ReplyDeleteYes I read about it in your post. Many brands in Taiwan all have this type of egg pineapple tarts.

DeleteI love salted egg yolks! Strange that this pineapple tart has more salted egg yolks that pineapple. Which I don't mind :)
ReplyDeleteThis is suitable for you then. :)
