inspired yesteryear Teresa Teng's pop song, "Moon Represents My Heart"
I'm getting an early on outset on mooncakes this twelvemonth circular peculiarly since the hotels together with shops convey started selling them already. My gut feeling that this early on outset for the festivities is somewhat tied amongst the declining economic scheme (mooncakes has e'er been traditionally a bully turn a profit earner). Things are definitely non looking rosy, equally I was downward town final Sat together with it felt to a greater extent than similar a ghost town rather than a bustling metropolis centre. From what I understand, this is partly due to the closure of Puduraya for renovations together with also inwards reaction to the petrol hike. Nevertheless, it was withal an eerie feeling amongst empty streets that reminded me to a greater extent than of the Chinese New Year's Day exodus.

On to this year's offering from Hilton Kuala Lumpur's Chynna, a pale yellowish snowskin mooncake called Yellow Moon. Every year, the eating seat offers unique pairings for their snowskin mooncakes - a petty alcohol together with a Western twist to the Eastern favourite. This year, the Yellow Moon is a snowskin mooncake that is wrapped unopen to a Martell brandy flavoured lotus glue amongst a purple bloom essence together with Martell brandy chocolate center.

While the flavours (violet together with brandy) are non really evident, I loved the silky shine texture of the whole ensemble including the chocolate, something that tin give the sack tend to move difficult vs smooth. My memories of final year's mooncakes from Chynna are a petty hazy but I didn't relish them equally much equally this one. Maybe it could move that this 1 is super fresh or they convey tweaked their formula. They are withal selling the previous year's varieties - the Red Lantern that I felt was also cloying, the Blue Moon, the Baileys snowfall pare but non the golden Tiramisu one. Prices convey definitely gone upward equally straightaway (my sometime worksheet says it was RM13.65 amongst taxes final year), the Yellow Moon is RM16++ together with the other varieties are RM15++.

It'll move interesting to cheque out the other flavours inwards town. One evident tendency that I'm seeing for the mooncakes is the role of dark charcoal pulverisation inwards the baked variety. I'm curious to drive that to gain upward one's heed how it affects the texture of the pare or whether it is just a cosmetic or visual change. Wait together with run across equally I'll drive together with abide by the respond to my queries.
