The other day when we were at 1st Avenue Mall, there was someone selling mini-mooncakes in the lower-ground floor. There were at least 18 kinds of mooncakes, with different shapes and/or flavours. The vendor said that they were homemade.
We bought six for RM10.
Flavours from left to right:
First row: mint, coffee, lotus
Second row: pandan, chocolate, yam
After cutting:
In the above photo, we didn't notice that the yam mooncake was the wrong way up. So I turned it around and took another photo. But since the angles are different, I decided to post both photos in case we want to see what the other "side" looks like...
The mooncakes were in general quite good, although the flavours were not remarkable. I liked the lotus and mint ones best. The mint one had a nice fresh mint taste. The pandan one did not taste very much like pandan (it was not even green!); it just had a tiny hint of pandan taste in the lotus. The coffee one similarly did not taste much like coffee. The yam one basically just had yam in the skin...we didn't expect that, we thought the filling was yam-flavoured! So it was nothing special. The chocolate one was so-so, not bad but there was nothing special about it.
I would buy them again, but would probably choose only the original lotus and mint ones, and maybe try some new flavours.
After cutting, we had some pieces left, so I just put them all together to have a six-flavoured mooncake! lol
On an unrelated note, my parents bought some cempedak pastry at the Batu Lanchang market (at the famous no.76 drinks stall). It was special and tasty too, full of cempedak taste. Very good!
