Jelly Mooncakes

My hubs' friend gave him a box of jelly mooncakes last week. I think they look really attractive but taste wise, I would rate it 5/10.

Clockwise from top : yam paste filled jelly mooncake, red bean paste filled jelly mooncake, red bean paste and 'chendol' jelly mooncake and lychee jelly mooncake (this tastes the best of the 4)





Macro shot of the jelly mooncakes:


I still prefer the traditional mooncakes over modern ones with fanciful flavors like tiramisu, coffee, red dragon fruit, strawberry and all that jazz. I prefer those made with low sugar, minus the duck's egg yolk and especially like the 5 nuts mooncakes. What's your favorite mooncake?

  1. the other day my fren gave me the jelly mooncakes, i like them.. not as colorful as yours.. hers is more plain but inside fillings were great..
    the traditional ones..too sweet, now have to be health conscious :p

  2. i prefer traditional lotus paste mooncakes... better still if they are handmade. I'm not impressed with those machine made ones, I don't think they taste as good as traditional ones.
