Shou Xin Fang Taiwanese Mooncakes

brown rice dark-green tea mooncake

Recently, I was asked yesteryear Mrs. Jeanie Lee from New Formosa Restaurant whether I would review around Taiwanese mooncakes she is selling at her eating theater for charity. Since it was for a skillful cause, I agreed to sample around of their specialties. I was a niggling curious to too sample Taiwanese mooncakes as well as compare to our local ones to come across their difference.

In terms of looks, the Taiwanese mooncakes wins hands downward equally they all come upward inwards squeamish niggling shapes that brand them hold back as well as thus pretty as well as enticing. The mooncakes are packed inwards boxes amongst a mix of dissimilar types. There are 4 types to conduct from such equally :

- The Emperor Mooncake Box  priced at RM93 - red edible bean chestnut, brownish rice dark-green tea, Japanese sugariness potato, dark edible bean kelp, 2 types of agar konjac jelly (sakura as well as sour plum) as well as 2 types of chocolate rice ball or mochis (sesame as well as peanut);

The 1 I obtained was the Emperor Mooncake collection. The baked mooncakes were adorable peculiarly the dark-green tea 1 which had a lovely bloom embossed on elevation of it. In terms of taste, I did honour the flavours real subtle as well as non real distinct. However, each mooncake seems to live less sugariness tasting compared to our local ones. I too felt that it was a niggling on the drier side equally I prefer my mooncakes amongst a wee fleck to a greater extent than oil.

The chocolate covered mochis were real interesting (no thought what chocolate they used but it must live around chemical compound equally it didn't melt!) amongst the abundant sesame as well as peanut fillings. I vicious inwards dearest amongst the adorable transculent jellies that had a sour plum as well as a pretty pinkish sakura bloom suspended within. Both tasted corking equally they were slightly tangy (especially the sour plum one) as well as I wishing in that place were more. They come upward packed inwards transparent plastic cups amongst spoons on the side as well as thus eating them on the become is no problem.

Aside from the commons mooncake boxes, Shou Xin Fang too sells these odd frozen daifuku mooncakes filled amongst "ice cream". Seems these pretty niggling things bring fifty-fifty caught the pump of our PM's boy equally he bought a box earlier (according to Mrs. Lee). A box of half dozen daifuku mooncakes is RM66 amongst flavours such as: mango as well as peach, strawberry reddish bean, dark-green tea reddish bean, sesame, reddish edible bean as well as chestnut as well as vanilla chestnut, chocolate as well as dark forest.

various flavours of the daifuku mooncakes

Each daifuku mooncake is wrapped amongst a rice flour peel (reminds me a niggling of our snowfall peel but less soft) as well as I reckon it is stuffed amongst cream (versus H2O ice cream equally it's non real creamy) as well as diverse flavours. It may hold back lovely but the flavours weren't very distinct as well as I felt the cream left an artificial gustatory modality to the tongue. When eaten direct from the freezer, y'all couldn't actually gustatory modality the chestnut or red bean flavours as well as thus leaving it out for a few minutes is advisable.

Aside from these daifuku mooncakes, Shou Xin Fang too sells Dorayaki pancakes, yoghurt mochi mooncakes, mochi truffles as well as mixed cheese dessert that tin give the sack live purchased for the Mid-Autumn festival.
