  Lotus Seed Egg Yolk Series  

 – Garden Mooncakes – 

Sweetness| 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oil level| 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Packaging | 🌟🌟🌟

This time, I tried three kinds of mooncakes from Garton: single yellow lotus paste, double yellow lotus paste and double yellow red lotus paste.As a Hong Kong-style classic, Garton does not have a thick crust and tastes goodThe salted egg yolk has a strong taste, is a slightly grainy rustling taste.

Tuantuan and Aunt 16 feel unanimouslyRed lotus paste double yellowIt is the best texture + taste among the three moon cakes.The red lotus seed paste is not too sweet, the lotus seed paste is soft and glutinous, and the egg yolk oil is fragrant.

Huangyue mooncakes are the best looking~ The lotus seed paste tastes softer than Garton's, buttoo sweet...Even Aunt 16, a sweet star eater, felt a little tired.

Huang Yue's egg yolk is not as oily as Garton's. The egg yolk is very large when cut open, but the salted egg yolk oil is not enough and the mouth is dry.I like lotus paste more than egg yolkThe foodies can choose Huang Yue.

 -Zuixiangyuan (low sugar)- 

The "low-sugar" version of Juxiangyuan's mooncakes is really friendly to those who don't like sweetness~ The sweetness is relatively mild, which is very friendly to diet stars.The milk smell is very strong, the entrance is just right.

The lotus seed paste is moderately soft and hard, and the egg yolk is half dry and half oily. It tastes pretty good. Overall, it is a moon cake that Tuan Tuan will repurchase.

 -Maxim Mooncake- 

Sweetness | 🌟🌟

Oil level| 🌟🌟🌟

Packaging | 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Maxim's products will not disappoint. The lotus seed paste has a soft fufu milky fragrance. The overall taste is relatively soft, and the egg yolk is sandy and fragrant.It tastes lighter than the low-sugar Zuixiangyuan, yesThe one with the lowest sweetness in the whole place without affecting the taste at all.

However, they are relatively light and small in size. Compared with other moon cakes, they are the kind that are very refreshing to eat.

 -Daoxiang Village Series-

 -Daoxiang Village Series- 

Daoxiang Village【Flower Moon Warm Words Gift Box]Really surprised the group!This is simply the beauty of the fruit~

There are Hong Kong-style poplar nectar, cranberry peach mountain, flowing custard, Jinjunmei black tea peach mountain, rose-flavored bird's nest flowing heart filling moon cake, the taste is proportional to the appearance.

Tuantuan likes Jinjunmei black tea peach mountain flavor the most, the tea taste is very fresh; 16 aunt likes cranberry peach mountain, the sweet and sour neutralizes the sweetness and greasy feeling, and can also eat cranberry fruit~Flowing Heart MooncakesIt's our first time eating it! !

Another Daoxiang Village【Realize the dream, the original heart] gift boxThere are: black truffle custard, Yangzhi manna custard, original custard, Hong Kong-style custard.

16 aunt said Daoxiang Village'sFlowing custard mooncakes taste the same, A small one will not be very burdensome to eat, but if you eat too much, it will be too sweet. It is recommended that you make a pot of tea before eating.

 -Meixin vs Tsuixiangyuan- 

To tell the truth, the milky custards of Meixin and Juxiangyuan look too similar on the outside... Take them apart and put them in front of Tuan Tuan, let's just say that they can't tell the difference.

After tasting it carefully, Meixin's milk fragrance is stronger, the sweetness of Liuxin filling is softer, and the aroma of egg yolk is stronger. The taste is indeed much better than that of Juxiangyuan.it seemsBeauty is indeed precioushahaha~

  There are more flavor series

Tuantuan likes rose bean paste the most.The smell of rose is outstanding, red bean paste is also very flavorful; Aunt 16 likes Beijing-style hawthorn, this moon cake tastes really similarHawthorn shortcake sold in Daoxiangcun store.

This series of moon cakes areModerate sweetness, It is said to be moon cakes, it tastes more like snacks, and overall it is worth buying and trying~

 -Daoxiang Village "Crispy" Mooncake- 

This box of mooncakes is probably the "most mooncake-like mooncake" in this test!There are three flavors:Peanuts, five kernels, sesame seeds.

Outer skinLike peach cake and biscuit, cut it straight off as shown in the picture.Except the inside of the five kernels is a bit hard, the peanut and sesame flavored "crisp mooncakes" really surprised us both!

Under the crispy shell, it isSoft hearty filling!Tuantuan likes peanut fillings, the soft peanut butter is sweet with a little saltiness, take a bite, it's really fragrant~

Aunt 16 prefers sesame stuffing,crispy pie crustbig grainsWhite and black sesame seeds, Every bite has the fragrance of sesame~ (eat more sesame to grow your hair~ hehe~)
