good vegetarian mooncake is hard to find. again wo peng restaurant made some fine ones with a new flavour, Green Tea.
perhaps due to the nature of green tea type, the skin is thickened. the aroma is fantastic! the other 1 is their creation since last year when they 1st launched mooncake, White Lotus Paste with Black Sesame. standard remained. both have loads of Melon Seeds.
box & carrier is same as last year. colourful & bright. would prefer their names to be printed on the front & back too. although cost will be higher, it's more eye-catching.
Handmade MoonCakes from Hotel Marriott's Award Winning Wan Hao Restaurant. i tried the traditional White Lotus Seed Paste with Single Yolk. Fresh & Tasty! Box comes with plastic knife n folks n Story about Mid-Autumn Festival. avg price is about $60 for 4 pcs. Fair Deal. Worth A Bite!
this pretty Metal Box really impressed me! + 4 diff types of Moon Cakes costed S$14 only! Shangri-la Restaurant in Bangkok Chinatown is not related to Hotel Shang of S'pore or Bkk. i brought it back around our National Day. quite early they started to sell Moon Cake. Very Nice! so if you're going to Bkk around lunar 7th mth or 8th mth, grab some Moon Cakes home.
White Lotus Paste with Double Yolk MoonCake fm the Award Winning Yin Ting Restaurant of Hotel St Regis is the 1st local mooncake i tried tis season. From Packaging in a Tall Circular Holder to the Taste + Fitting Carrier, it's Perfect!
look at tat Cockle, locally called C-Hum! it's packeted for abt 20mins b4 i was free to lunch & yet it still tasted Fresh, more like raw than over-cooked! the quality of this shellfish & the chef matters! 5pcs of medium size c-hum.
all other ingredients eg vegetables, fishcake, towkay, eggs & chinese wax hotdog (lup cheong) tasted great!
Fresh as though straight from the wok!
$2.50 dine in or takeaway at blk 350 ubi ave 1 coffee shop. Great Food at Good Price! Must Try!
look great right? u must try this Kuey Chap at blk 350 ubi ave 1 coffee shop. $3 dine in & $3.50 takeaway. 1 full egg, meat, tau pok, skin, intestine & 2 types of chilli. it's certainly different! the elderly teochew couple tat manage the stall is very well-mannered. they also sell Duck Rice.
Winston, a 13 yrs old, will ask the staff including owner what's the ingredients & how it's cooked when he smells an interesting dish in any good dining outlets here or oversea. normally only adult who cooks well will ask such questions! quite surprise from this lad.
Quite common at home he'll ask the maid to move aside & he'll take over the cooking. Granny will come screaming Watch the knife, Watch the fire, What're you doing in the kitchen.... after trying out his dish & often his Creation, Granny who's no less than 60 yrs of cooking experience feels that Winston should be a Chef!
At Food Fair or Tasting sessions, Winston will try almost all Food & Drink & will let you know the taste instantly. Just he tried Anchor Beer. So light! Water! Immediately i checked its alcohol contents. 4.5% only!
In the 60s or earlier Anchor Beer is the King of Beer but over the years it's taken over by others. The old Anchor didn't taste so Watery! Something has changed!
Winston also has good taste for any Drinking Stuff. Currently he feels that Wine tastes better than Beer. His great great grandpa, who came from China, was a Bun & Pastry Chef in a Cantonese Restaurant. His eldest sis also loved cooking. His 1st uncle, a banker, enjoyed cooking too.
Winston enjoyed the summer waves of Phuket in 2010.
In the recent mid-year exam Winston got A for Home Econ, theory & practical.
