The goodness of a champagne mooncake
I love mooncakes, but never really liked those with the 'snowskin', there was a point in time where i actually detested the taste of snowskins (age 10 perhaps). To be perfectly honest, to me, the best mooncakes are those with the nicely baked brown skin, no yolk. Just the humble lotus seed paste with its unpretentious overlay.Actually, take away the lotus paste, just give me the yummy brown mooncake skins.
I would settle for those 'little caged pigs' readily..(very much like mooncake skin)
There is however a certain mooncake I cannot get enough of. The Raffles Hotel Champagne truffle mooncake. Comes in a nice vintage styled tin box which is different every year (yes go crazy collectors). With it's perfectly thinned skin, just the right quantity of lotus paste, and its white truffle chocolate center that does more than melt in your mouth. This little piece of heaven is..nothing short of DIVINE.
And champagne, "my only regret in life is that I didn't drink enough Champagne"

mmmm
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
