翠香亭月饼

Today when I came home, I saw something striking in the kitchen; A maroon color paper bag sat quietly on the dining table. ITS MOONCAKE (MC) LOL! Cos MoonCake Festival is round the corner u know... and as my dad's popularity is very high [y his daughter has got no popularity ~?] he gets alot of gifts from his customers lol. So... this box of mooncake is no exception.

Eh I think the box is nice cos it unfolds like a book and inside, u can see the calligraphy and my dad says its a 'symbolism' of high-class-ness.... I dunno abt calligraphy la but I agreed LOL. The MCs are from 翠香亭. I really have got no idea where it is from so if u know, dun mind can tell me k. Yeah~ Yours truly knows abt the 1000 calories fact. I din eat so I kept bugging my dad asking him how does it taste?! He said quite nice, asked me try but I declined~ and the 'skin' is very thin! YAH! Can u see... its that thin! OMG!

Then the flavours are (clockwise from top lefthandcorner): Fine Grains Roast Chicken (FGRC) 五仁烤鸡, Green Tea Pine Seed (GTPS), Double Yolk White Lotus (DYWL) 双黄白莲 (which has been attacked by my dad), Single Yolk Red Lotus (SYRL) 单黄红莲. Weird leh... the 1st and the last flavour.... Dad says FGRC is for the old folks lol... I dunno... and red lotus? K, I'll sample a little tml. FGRC sounds so weird!Tsk...

Updated: YES! For the benefit of you all, I risked my waistline and sampled the MCs... of cos I took very thin slices so I shld've intake abt less than 250 calories :( FGRC tastes really weird. I cant appreciate it. I now understand why dad says its meant for the old folks. I cant describe its taste cos its so ehm sthg I feel it shouldn't be used for MC's filling! I wasn't sure if I ate any roast chik there were grains and nuts tho. Its rather messy. I dun like it and the aftertaste is there..... (-_-)" GTPS is very aromatic and I tot the taste will be very rich but to my surprise, its quite mild in taste. The flagrance stays in ya mouth, I quite like it. SYRL ehm... I din quite like it 2. Sorry I forgot the taste le but it has a taste which I can't make out what is it. DYWL is good. Texture is smooth and its not too sweet either. Dun ask me abt yolk I din eat them. N white lotus is a healthier choice LOL. YES!!! the 'skin' is really really thin that I thot I'm only eating the fillings.

P.S.: ... I saw NTUC carrying this 'brand'. On their signboard, it claims 'handmade', 'original', 'hongkong receipe', 'traditional ingredients'.
