It's MOONCAKE Time!!!

 

Leung San Hong Kong Pastry at Sago St

 

Sells great Hong Kong dim sum delicacies but fail miserably in mooncakes. They are all dry and hard.

 

Tai Thong Cake Shop at Mosque St

Another household name in traditional mooncakes and most of its selection taste better than Tai Chong Kok. The overall rating for its mooncakes is 1 ½ -chopstick. The best is the Mooncake with Lotus Seed Paste and Yolk (2 ½- chopstick). The pastry is not dry, in fact, it is a little moist and soft with smooth and slightly wet lotus seed paste.

 

Tong Heng at South Bridge Road

Its salty Mooncake with Green Bean Paste (2- chopstick) is better than the one from Tai Chong Kok as the texture of the paste is better and tastier. If you like Mooncake with Assorted Nuts and Chinese ham, then you "die, die must try" this one. It is absolutely shiok (satisfying) to the bite! Crunchy nuts with big pieces of Chinese ham give a great sweet and salty taste combination. Needless to say, it gets a 3-chopstick rating!

 

     

Which one will you try?

After reading all these lengthy recommendations, have you made up your mind on what to buy for this coming Mooncake Festival? Or are you feeling more blur (confused) than before?
