Last weekend my brother (the married one) sent over a box of mooncakes. He told me that these mooncakes have a short shelf life.
Then he told me to finish them as soon as possible, not that I needed any encouragement kih..kih..kih...
Oh! Are they cute or what? Eight mini mooncakes, two varieties of each.
I took out three to sample.
The one topped with black sesame seeds is filled with pandan lotus paste. Yum! My favorite!
The one topped with melon seeds is filled with lotus paste and one salted egg yolk. I also very like hee..hee..hee...
Then the one with pumpkin seed topping had pandan lotus paste AND salted egg yolk. I super like!
So I guessed that the fourth flavor (topped with white sesame seeds) must be filled with just lotus paste, no egg yolk.
Correct. Correct. I like this one too. In fact I like all the four varieties of fillings.
The remaining four mini mooncakes, I decided to cut them neatly with a knife.
If I see these mooncakes I will buy a box.
Now you see it.
Now you don't. Don't ask.
Wow!!! I just saw a fabulous magic show by PH Copperfield. The mooncakes disappeared into thin air. How did you do it???
ReplyDeletehee..hee..hee... You can do it too!
DeleteLol!! You are a mooncakes monster!
ReplyDeletehah..hah... I am!
Deleteall look delicious and cute! just my type of mooncakes!!! i want to do some magic and make them disappear (if i ever get a box)!
ReplyDeleteThey were all so good. My quota for mooncakes this year, fullfiled!
DeleteAll the flavours look tasty to me! So nice of your brother to bless you with these mooncakes.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a nice gift!
DeleteHahaha, looks so tasty! Let me check out bakesterkl to try to buy some to try. Yum yummy!
ReplyDeleteI think they sell on Instagram. Get a box, very nice :)
DeleteAs big as a salted egg yolk, must be very small. Short shelf life is good, no preservatives - some are made months and months before the festival and can keep till like forever - so much preservatives! Eat a lot, next time no need to embalm!
ReplyDeleteYou have a brother who's single? Ehem! Ehem!!! LOL!!!
DeleteI prefer these mini ones, they were really good!
DeleteYes, I have a brother who has not been snapped up yet. Interested kah? LOL!
DeleteI had these mini mooncakes one year. 2 years ago? Or is it last year?? I can't remember. Something different from the conventional mooncake skin.
ReplyDeleteI prefer these mini mooncakes, I think they are nicer than the conventional ones.
DeleteThin pastry very very generous lotus paste filling! Too bad I'm not a fan of any pastries with lotus paste, that's why I never get excited with mooncakes, LOL
ReplyDeleteI am not crazy over mooncakes either but since people give and it's nice, so just enjoy lah. LOL!
DeleteYummm! I like the ones with lotus paste & egg yolk.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteWow... they look so good to me now! Regretted not buying any over, now my sister is yearning for them... she said she should have reminded me to get her some... hahaa... too bad, my two luggages were overweight in fact and I had to take out two packets of curry paste in order to go through otherwise I have to pay RM400! Crazy but true.. hahaha..
ReplyDeletehah..hah...I wonder what goodies you took with you the SF! Sure no space for mooncakes like this hee..hee..
DeleteAh, it's that time of the year again. Well, if one has to eat mooncake, I guess it's better to eat one where there's more filling than pastry, right? LOL. P/S: I hope half magically disappeared into your stomach while the other half went to your partner's...hah..hah...sharing is caring! ;)
ReplyDeleteOooppss...I am a bad partner when it comes to sharing food wahahahaha!!!
DeleteThey are so cute. Short shelf life means no preservative. These mini mooncakes are packed with filling. I like mooncakes with salted egg yolk and the ones with nuts.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we have the same taste when it comes to mooncakes!
DeleteSekarang punya mooncake pun dah lain yeh LL. Dah tak Mcm mooncake, macam roti
