Ever heard of English Afternoon Tea moon cake? Well, I found this cute little mooncakes with four different flavors of fruit red wine -- grape, raspberry, rose... in the center court of Sunway Shopping Mall. The best thing I like about these Cutiemoon (name of these mooncakes) are they are totally not sweet at all which suits me very well as I really dislike sweet cakes but cannot resist to indulge in them when the festival is around. A very good alternative to the usual cakes to go with your afternoon tea. Four flavors are priced at RM 25.20 if you are a Jusco card member. The other mooncake which I tried was bought from the stall selling vegetarian dishes in Hong Mei Restaurant in Damansara Jaya. Got the durian mooncakes at RM 7 for four mini pieces. The taste is alright but the crust is too thick and hard to the bite. Not recommended.
Mooncake festival is on the 22 September 2010. Many shopping complexes, restaurants, mini markets and even pasar malam and wet market are selling mooncakes. Normally all the stalls in the shopping complexes are from the famous brands and I have not seen a stall selling vegetarian mooncakes yet. Was I delighted this time to find a stall selling vegetarian mooncakes in Sunway Pyramid. Got 4 different flavors from them and I find the "Lotus Vegetarian Mushroom Mixed Nuts Paste Moon Cake" very well made and tasty. According to the ingredients, they have mushrooom, almond, walnut, cashew nut, melon seeds, sesame seeds, dried melon, orange peel, rose sugar, peanut oil and wheat. The mooncake with the single vegetarian egg yolk is almost like the real thing, a little salty and eaten together with the lotus paste is a very good blend. Recommended for vegetarian mooncake lovers.
