My friend told me about these mooncakes from a traditional biscuit shop in Ipoh being sold in KL so I bought a selection to try. These 4 pieces I selected cost a total of MYR98.20 nett. The Walnut Mooncake and BBQ Meat Lotus Egg Yolk Mooncake costs MYR23.80 nett each. The Mixed Nut Mooncake costs MYR28.80 nett and the Teochew Walnut Mooncake cost MYR21.80 nett.
This is the place where you can get them in KL and the price list.
BBQ Meat Lotus Salted Egg Yolk Mooncake - Savoury and Sweet. Worth a try for those who likes to eat the BBQ Meat (yuk kon) that is popular as gifts during CNY.
There are many small pieces of BBQ Meat embedded in the Lotus Paste.
Teochew Walnut Mooncake
No nuts for me. No nice packaging this one? Must be really nice then, real quality...no need for all those "dressing up to kill".
ReplyDeletejust the usual paper/cardboard box.
DeleteWalnut mooncake would be my choice. I pove walnuts. Hmm. How Teochew walnut mooncake taste like, i dont really fancy the flaky skin. Messy.
ReplyDeletetaste like moon cake lotus fillings in siew bao skin.
DeleteWow! My pick goes to the one with salted egg-yolk! xoxo
ReplyDeleteyes! I like salted egg yolk in almost any food if done right is very tasty.
DeleteThis is the first time I heard of BBQ meat in the moo ncakes! It looks savoury and very tempting but the price made me stiff. These days many people could afford to splurge money on anything fancy and good.
ReplyDeleteplease ask your wife to make bbq meat, salted egg yolk in lotus fillings and sell to me, ok?
DeleteI see that you enjoy mooncakes. I only like the pandan flavored one. Maybe I will just buy one for myself hee..hee..
ReplyDeletehahahaha, I think I enjoy eating 80% of any tasty edible food in this world. yes buy one for yourelf to slowly enjoy eating while drinking tea.
DeleteEven though I am not really into mooncakes but I don't mind those yam flavour flaky mooncakes
ReplyDeleteOh so you like yam flavour and flaky skin mooncakes.
DeleteThe BBQ meat sounds like a good idea since traditional mooncakes are just sweet. Prices seem high for mooncakes that are not 'branded' or come in fancy packaging.
ReplyDeleteHandmade not machine made so must be more expensive lah.
DeleteI know this shop but I haven't tried their moon cakes.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried their other usual pastries and biscuits?
