Garden's Crispy Skin Yam Mooncake

During Mid Autumn season, my place of work is typically floaded with mooncakes given with the aid of using bankers and vendors. We nearly get to strive all of the mooncakes in Singapore from resorts to bakeries however typically are conventional white lotus with 2 yolks mooncakes. Personally I don`t fancy mooncakes however everytimes there are new lawn mooncake withinside the pantry I will move in and take a peak. Most of the time I'm greater inspired with the aid of using their packaging than the mooncake itself...lol! Last weekend my colleague stated that the garden mooncake from Garden is ideal and each yr she can be able to get some packing containers of it from them. So me too get a few for my own circle of relatives to strive.

The pastry turned into very flaky and soften withinside the mouth. The yam paste turned into easy and now no longer overly candy. Oh have a take a observe the yolk, pleasant oily colour. Then you had higher heed my recommendation and head right all the way down to Song Garden placed at the second ground of Mercure Singapore Bugis to get in on their mooncake selection. The emphasis at the conventional baked mooncakes a clean respite from the peculiarities of this yr's snow pores and skin services from numerous institutions touting abnormal flavours together with tom yum, crimson peppercorn and greater. Call me antique school, however there are sure traces that cannot be crossed in birthday party of the sort of historic occasion. Redolent with nuts, the Five Assorted Seeds is one that could pander to the greater matured flavor buds. Almonds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, persimmon and sesame seeds are held collectively with a sticky maltose filling that is simply candy sufficient to permit for the roast at the nuts to polish through. Unlike many renditions I've had, Song Garden's model does not collapse on the slightest contact nor stick with the tooth in unglamorous nooks and crannies. Definitely a keeper and a nice show of the artistry withinside the kitchen.

There is a folk tale about the overthrow of the Yuan dynasty facilitated by messages smuggled in moon cakes.


Mooncakes were used by revolutionaries in their effort to overthrow the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty, eventually resulting in the establishment of the Ming dynasty.[6][7] The idea is said to have been conceived by Zhu Yuanzhang and his advisor Liu Bowen, who circulated a rumor that a deadly plague was spreading and that the only way to prevent it was to eat special mooncakes, which would instantly revive and give special powers to the user. This prompted the quick distribution of mooncakes. The mooncakes contained a secret message: on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, kill the rulers.[8]


Another method of hiding a message was to print it on the surfaces of mooncakes (which came in packages of four), as a simple puzzle or mosaic. To read the message, each of the four mooncakes was cut into four parts. The resulting 16 pieces were pieced together to reveal the message. The pieces of mooncake were then eaten to destroy the message. I've continually been one to like white lotus paste, plain. However, come Mid-Autumn Festival, I give way to the occasional yolk inception. The dynamite orange ball including simply that little bit of expensive salt to carry out the pleasant of the easy lotus paste. At tune lawn, the mooncakes come only a little greater tanner than usual, the crust itself yielding a strong flavour that I prefer. Perfect little gold ingots; those salted egg yolk lava custard mini mooncakes from Song Garden are my encouraged for most 'worth-it' buy this mid autumn festival. Heat it up a touch and you are assured a pleasing flowy centre Read More
