Still powering through the moon cakes even though it's weeks after Mid Autumn festival. This one is the Casahana range: Kuih Bulan Jade Custard flavour. Again, it's courtesy of our friends at Amyson and is part of their range of moon cakes.
While it looks more traditional compared to the purple Japanese sweet potato flavour reviewed previously, it's consistent with the Casahana range, being slightly less sweet compared to traditional moon cakes. Inside the filling is, well jade green with yellow custard mix instead of the traditional egg yoke, and I think with either nuts or watermelon seeds, spread throughout for a crunchy effect.
One more after this and my moon cakes stock will be finished, yeah!
I am still yet to try a moon cake... I am waiting for the price to go down now that the festival is over!
ReplyDeleteYep, they'll be cheap now... but try the traditional one first to get the feel of what they should be like... lotus with egg yoke.. and small slices each time!
ReplyDeleteIs there anywhere to still buy mooncakes in Sydney? I saw lots I wanted to try during the festival but didn't buy them at the time.. Thanks for any help
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately because of the limited space, grocery shops don't stock them... you'll have to wait until next Aug/Sep, unfortunately.
