Sorry for abandoning this blog for so long. There’s been loads of tests and assignments, plus the dorm internet connection is just lousy. Sites like google, yahoo and flickr wouldn’t load at all (DNS server problem??). Then I resort to using proxies which solves the problem temporary but it’s kinda slow. uSpot (our uni’s wifi provider) really sucks.
I had the opportunity to try this Blue Moon snow skin mooncake by Chyna, Hilton KL. The lotus and Amaretto paste enclosing the Blueberry Cheese Fenillantine in the center is wrapped with a layer of blue snow skin.
The outer layer was simply soft yet gives a very slight chewy sensation. The combination layers of blueberry filling, cream cheese and amaretto paste simply shouts cheesecake! but the additional layer of lotus paste brings you back to hey, it’s mooncake ^.^ The flavour and texture of the snow skin is excellent. The tangy cheese and sweet lotus is well balanced. Unfortunately I couldn’t really taste the amaretto. For the price RM13.60 per piece (and the size is smaller than regular mooncakes), it’s really satisfaction fulfilled. Yum~

Hi Durian Berry! Thanks for adding me to your list, I’ve added you as well! The blue moon looks really nice, wish I could try it! Too bad the Hilton in Sydney does not have it… =( I’ll have to go back to KL to find it, but I doubt they’ll have it when I go back anyway… =( Have you got the recipe by any chance? lol

PenangTuaPui – wah lucky! Especially moon cakes are so expensive these days. I prefer buying for myself to eat.. haha
Christy, CK, Jackson, Jason – Yup it’s pretty special. Each year we get more variety of flavours in moon cakes
buzzingbee – yeah it’s quite an interesting combination but we have tiramisu moon cake everywhere now! Lol
kampungboycitygal – From Shangrila? I’ve not tried that yet. Next year! :D
