The mooncakes from Toh Yuen, Klang Executive Club bordered between decent and pretty good.
I had 4 sent to me for sampling and I loved the Assorted Fruits Nuts most.
That is surprising as I usually detest it for the weird wintermelon aftertaste and the overly sweet, sticky paste.
This version by Toh Yuen it’s like a granola bar instead of a mooncake!
Densely packed with nuts and seeds, the binding paste isn’t sweet & the pastry crust is not oily.
I felt like I’m eating an energy bar and being the health, fitness nut that I am, I immediately took a liking to this.
In fact now I’m thinking of buying more so that I can stock it as my energy/snack bar! 🙂
Next I tried the Dragonfruit Snowskin with Yolk Custard.
Fruity & mild flavoured, it’s quite light & again not sweet.
I think it’s great that most mooncakes (or at least the ones I sampled so far) sold currently had reduced much of its sugars and oil in the recipe.
I have always believed that eating well and enjoying your local snacks (kuih, mooncakes, etc) doesn’t have to be a terrible thing. It is all about moderation.
Having said that, I thought the dragonfruit mooncake could do with a thinner snowskin and more pronounced dragonfruit flavour.
The Pandan Snowskin with ‘Egg Yolk’. The yolk was more of a powdery custard and again I found the skin too thick for my liking.
The pandan paste has a nice pandan aroma though.
Lastly is the most basic of all mooncakes – the Baked Lotus Paste. This was pretty standard but one thing worth noting is the nice and thin baked crust.
