Love the mooncakes

So I cut those mooncakes today. Love three of them as the fourth one was already eaten by my husband last night. I didn't know about it. Otherwise, I would definitely stop him from eating and let me take a shot first. But it's too late. I don't know if it's tasty. 

 Here's what I got. I just ate a quarter of each mooncake.

Less sugar red bean.
Less sugar suits me well. 


Less sugar green tea lotus + sweetened bean.
Red beans goes so well with the green tea.


Lotus Paste with double yolk.
The yolk is perfect..not too salty.


What type of mooncake did my husband eat?

      He usually takes mooncake in a whole piece. I won't do that. I have to cut it first.

      I don't mind those with yolks provided it's not too salty.

    And I prefer snow skin moon cakes. The classic ones are boring. Or rather I'm bored with them

    i can only eat the most half at a time (and must be different flavor), but i never like assorted nuts with ham, it's just too "heavy" with all nuts, need to take 30 minutes to finish one piece, haha~~

      Me too. The most I can take is half of it and different flavor too.
      Last time I didn't like assorted nuts but now I do.

      yes, actually the cost of lotus is higher than yolk.. but they are selling mooncakes with yolk at higher price than plain lotus!! strange~~

    3. wennAugust 29, 2012 at 9:45 AM

      The plain ones only cost RM10 each whereas the ones with double yolks cost RM16 each! Look at the big difference!

      The smell of green tea put me off. But recently when I took the drink of green tea with red beans, it was great. So now I don't mind it.

      I don't really like green tea, but I like its end product, namely ice cream, moon cake :)

    Yr hubby had the assorted nuts with ham...am I right? :)

    Well, I personally like the more 'original' favour which is the lotus paste with egg yolk or pure red bean either the normal skin or 'ping pei'.

    But since it is only once a year, so also no harm trying out some of the new 'invention'.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
