I Wonder – 1 Large Original Mooncake Or 10 Mini Funky Flavoured Mooncakes?
Monday, September 21, 2009 in Daisy's Thoughts, Really Nice Food by Daisy Share 
Choices, choices! It’s Mid-Autumn Festival soon and the shops and streets are filled with bright coloured lanterns… There’s this buzz – which I love – like CNY here or Christmas in UK… On top of this, there’s an array of mooncakes filling the shelves….
From where I come from, and from when I grew up – mooncakes were a rareity… They were highly priced for a simple box of 4 and the flavours were just the plain standard pure lotus seed paste… Sometimes, there were single yolk and if you were lucky there were double yolk! We would cut them into small slices, share them out amongst the family and savour each bite – trying to make them last for ages! I love mooncakes – maybe cos to us it was a delicacy and a once a year treat!
Well, today I passed a mooncake fayre… crazy really… The amount of people, the amount of stalls and shops selling the stuff! The flavours and sizes were vast too!
Shame really – last year, I had to avoid mooncakes as they contain peanut oil and I was preggers. This year, I’m breastfeeding, so still avoiding it! But I’m already thinking about when I am able to have them, what would I choose?
I must admit I love the original mooncake – the plain and simple pure lotus seed paste…. I’ve not really tried that many new funky tasting modern mooncakes… So I wonder whether these will superscede the original? So as a result, I have come to a conclusion that one day, I will buy lots of many mini mooncakes so that I can test the different flavours and styles… Yip, that’s what I will do!
Can’t wait to try Huppy’s favourite – Champagne Truffle & Chocolate Ganache Snowskin Mooncakes from Szechuan Court, Swissôtel The Stamford.
