EATER PALACE
11 Sept 2010 - Teochew Yam & Pumpkin MoonCake.
Brother bought these Teochew vegetarian mooncakes for Mom which i immediately cut it up for all to share. Teochew mooncakes have flaky skin similar to puff pastry, and uses filling typically of Yam instead of the usual Lotus paste. Eater Palace adopting Pumpkin paste as the Yolk was delightful.
Alas, these crusty Mooncake outlast its freshness by the 3rd day, microwaving doesn't help so you've got to consume it fast.
TUNG LOK GROUP
I had thought my addiction to Mooncakes was gone when i took the disappointing bite from Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant last week. But Tung Lok rekindle my zest for Mooncake once again! It was smooth, rightly sweeten, and of all fragrance; enticing me for a nibble, and then another :)
Its mashed salted egg yolk is delectable!!

Tung Lok Macadamia Nuts White Lotus
We had an assortment of Tung Lok Mooncakes - Egg Yolk Pandan Lotus with Pistachios, Egg Yolk White Lotus and Macadamia Nuts White Lotus. I had since promoted Tung Lok Mooncake strongly to all friends this season.
GOODWOOD PARK HOTEL
15 Sep 2010 - Goodwood Park Hotel, a corporate gift.
Goodwood Park's signature D24 Durian Snowskin Mooncakes has the Oomph! Every bite is generously filled with the rich creamy paste made from fresh pulp of D24 durians. It tastes less of a paste, close to having the real fruit itself! Simply delightful, and nobody want anything less than a quarter each time; the box was keenly finished!
Their Lotus Seed Paste with 4 Yolks baked Mooncake was equally impressive; suitably textured, sweeten. Goodwood Park, we should remember them for next year.
VICTORIA PEAK RESTAURANT
16 Sep 2010 - Victoria Peak 海都酒家, complimentary with purchase from Orchard Central
Hong Kong's Victoria Peak Restaurant Mooncake (low sugared) of White Lotus Paste with Double Yolks was delicately fine textured albeit the hard-centered salted duck yolk.
CONCORDE HOTELS & RESORTS
17 Sep 2010 - Concorde Hotel
Mum lugged 2 heavy boxes from Grandmother's place today, they were from 4th Uncle. I was pleasantly surprised that a local hotel had introduced low sugared Halal Mooncake!?
Its very much lavished packaging hard case box with 1 large Jade ornament was certainly eye-catching; if you wish to make a statement, you've just done it..
ROYAL CHINA AT RAFFLES HOTEL
You could expect nothing less from Raffles Hotel. They are notably good by word of the mouth. Their Supreme "Kim Wah" Ham with Assorted Nuts Mooncake could well be the marquee attraction among their seasonal offerings!
********
Happy Mooncake Festival!
Each year, we started the Mid-Autumn Festival with much caution of having too much Mooncake. As per year, Mooncakes poured in from all sources. What a festival!
I gained 1kg over Mooncakes this year ;)))
