Now there's a new kind of mooncake called Momoyama skin mooncake. The cake-like baked skin is made with butter bean flour, and high in protein and low in sugar and fat! You can get them from #bakerzinsg and they come in four different flavours:
1⃣ Osmanthus Lotus 🌸
2⃣ Purple Sweet Potato and Water Chestnut🍠
3⃣ Egg Custard 🍳
4⃣ Green Tea Kumquat 🍵
I'm not a fan of the Osmanthus one and found the flavour overpowering. On the other hand, the Green Tea taste was not strong enough. The Sweet Potato hits the right spot and Egg Custard is great for people who love salted egg items or egg yolk in their mooncakes.
And my Bleu Peppercorn ($13) didn't disappoint. The black pepper crusted beef patty with onion rings and homemade blue cheese sauce were superb. However, they were not really receptive to feedback.
We ordered the Spicy Hot Drumlets ($11.50) and it was totally tasteless except for the spicy coat outside. When we told them, they said it was supposed to be like that. Faint.
Featuring Mixed Snow Ice Balls with Peach ($4.20), a recommended item at Taiwan Wei.
The three flavoured ice balls--strawberry, sour plum and soursop--are accompanied with a side of pearls! The pearls are Taiwan Wei's signature and are served separately as they are at their best hot. You may also choose to pour it over your ice balls.
My verdict: Pearls are extremely QQ and are better separated. The ice balls are so-so and if I had to recommend a flavour, it would be the sour plum.
The best thing is that they taste as good as they look too 😉 For more information about the dessert cafe, check out my blog at qiuuing.wordpress.com!
And the restaurant was quite empty! 😊 Thanks to sis @hungrybaker for the treat before her dive trip. It was a lip-stinging nose-runny meal (not sure whether it's good cos I just got better from food poisoning but who cares)!
Don't forget to check out the SG50 Jubilee buns 🍞 from BreadTalk! They have introduced 15 buns, comprising of local favourites like Satay Chicken, Mt. Kaya Swirl, Chilli Crab King and Orh-Nee. Also, from now till 24 August 2015, enjoy 50 cents off your bill when you spend a minimum of $5! Off to catch late founding father LKY's Proclamation of Independence on TV 😊
Love how Twelve Cupcakes constantly innovates and comes up with creative flavours.
😁 it's a good idea to have mains and desserts all in one meal!
Making use of 1-1 a la carte food items from @grabzsg so total cost of this meal was only $9.90! Super affordable! Always happy with the choices at Makisan. However, today my roll fell apart even before I ate it 😣 the one you see propped on the box was the only one that was fine.
Lollipop Cheesecake ($7.20) and Kalamansi Sunrise ($5.80), both delicious. Too bad the soft serve was not available 😢
Not one of my favourite dishes at Art Art and Away but they were receptive to feedback and that's one of the reasons why patrons will return.
