Moon-cake and its varieties

CK tangs mooncakes are made with a milk tea paste and are filled with molten brown sugar lava and tapioca pearls. This is something so novel that I cannot wait to try it! As everyone who adores mooncakes knows, the outside appearance is equally as important as the flavor. As one might expect from a custard, it is extremely sweet and incredibly rich, despite the fact that the filling itself is not as creamy.

Mooncakes feature a pastry exterior encasing a sesame mooncake , thick interior. Mooncakes are often consumed in little wedges and shared with members of one's own family during the festival. Mooncakes are often served with Chinese tea and are seldom offered steamed or fried. Mooncake resembles a sweet lotus seed paste with either red bean or egg yolk filling in the center. If you're fortunate, your mooncake will have each of these fillings. What are these? The flavor is distinctive and cannot be duplicated by any other dessert in the world.

Lotus Seed Paste with Egg Yolk — Despite being the most common filling, lotus seed paste is also the most costly.
