MoonCake, Hell or Heaven Food?

posted by Alvin Chan

I just realized that Moon Cake, the seemingly innocent food with nice burned, baked, soft crust, can be your path to taste the door of hell if you did not do a little homework of asking what is wrapped inside the crust.

Lotus Paste Mooncake
This is a typical mooncake with lotus seed paste. Gives a sweet taste without much hard particles when inside your mouth. My favorite! Because I hate egg yolks in mooncake! It really sucks, I can’t even eat frozen egg yolk, is that some sort of edible food? =.=

Five Kernel Mooncake paste
Now this is a moon cake with another type of filling, Five Kernel(五�?). It is made of 5 types of nuts and blended with rock sugar into this piece of sticky paste. And I tell you, it really is tasteless!

Tasteless Mooncake
It is like a piece of rock inside your mouth, without any taste. Don’t try it if you don’t know how to appreciate the most expesive mooncake filling in the market. It will be like Monkey with a Flower.

Five Kernel Mooncake paste
And of cause, mooncake is best served with Chinese tea, which quenches your thirst while eating mooncake.
