Tai Zi Heen Mooncake

Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival is just around the corner. Nothing is more synonymous with the moon festival than the mooncake.  It seem like bakeries, , hotels , cafe & restaurant  have an early start on moon cake this year. I noticed there was mooncake on sale as early as June & FYI the Mooncake Festival of this year fall on 12th September.

I was fortune enough to be invited to sample Tai Zi Heen‘s latest mooncake offerings.

Tai Zi Heen‘s traditional baked mooncake series.

Hong Kong White Lotus Paste with Single Egg Yolk (单黄香港白莲月) ~ RM 23+ /pcs, RM 92+ / box

For those who like the conventional flavor 🙂 Not overly sweet & smooth filling.

Five Nuts, Rum and Raisin (浪琴酒葡干仁月) ~ RM 25+ /pcs, RM 98+ /box

Filled with various of nuts with hints of Rum.

Tiramisu with Chocolate Dipped Espresso Beans (提拉米苏咖啡月) RM 22+ /pcs, RM 88+ / box

This has a perfect blend of flavours, and the strong aroma of coffee alone is arousing

Pandan with Single Egg Yolk and Melon Seeds (单黄瓜子班兰月) RM 23+ /pcs, RM 92+ /box

The refreshing hint of pandan makes a perfect combination with the savory egg yolk.

Shredded Coconut Paste with Sesame Pearls (椰丝芝麻珍珠月) ~ RM 20+ /pcs, RM 80+ /box

This was something new for me, I like the aroma of the shredded coconut & sesame but it was a tad too dry.

 

Tai Zi Heen’s colourful range of snow-skin mooncakes.

Mini Snow-skin Mooncake with Bittersweet Chocolate and Whisky (冰皮威士忌朱古力) ~ RM 18+ /pcs,

RM 72+ /box

Ingenious combination of chocolate + Whisky! Although I’m not an alcohol person but the Whisky taste was bearable for me & manage to stand out without too overpowering.

Mini Snow-skin with Black Sesame Paste and Egg Yolk (冰皮黑芝麻蛋黄) ~ RM 18+ /pcs, RM 72+/ box

I love the velvety smooth sesame paste & the aroma was unmistakeable.

Mini Snow-skin with Durian Custard (冰皮榴莲奶黄) ~ RM 23+ /pcs, RM 92+ / box

A must for durian lovers! (like me \(*.*)/ ) Once you cut through the soft snow skin the strong

distinct heady aroma of durian hits you to slowly draw you in. I’m glad that I manage to grab 2 piieces of this divine durian mooncake that night 😛

Mini Snow-skin with Mango Cheesecake (冰皮香芒芝士蛋糕月) ~ RM 18+ /pcs, RM 72+ /box

 Probably the least favorite of mine that night. The flavor was not intense enough.

Mini Chinese Wolfberry Snow-skin with Red Date Paste (冰皮杞子枣蓉月) ~ RM 18+ /pcs, RM 72+ /box

I was barely taste the wolfberry but adored the red date paste which has the right sweetness.
