Tao Taoju

Tao Taoju is an old tea house built in Guangzhou in the 1880th year of Guangxu (4) in the Qing Dynasty. The team personally tested Tao Taoju's double-yellow white lotus seed: Compared with the red lotus seed made with brown sugar, the white lotus seed made with white sugar was lighter and the taste was moderate, but the egg yolk in the cake was a bit dry. In terms of price, Taotaoju's box of 16.99 is only $ XNUMX, which is a good deal.

JJ Bakery

In addition to Cantonese-style mooncakes, Xiaoyawu also has a traditional Taiwanese dessert mung bean pèng (pèng, sometimes also written as mung bean convex, or pèng).Mung bean bumps originated from Fengyuan City in central Taiwan. The puff pastry is filled with mung bean paste and braised pork. It is one of the representatives of sweet and salty flavor.After the team tested it, it felt "magical taste", but because the pork seasoning is also sweet, it is actually quite harmonious when paired with mung bean puree. Friends in southern Fujian (Xiamen) may feel that it tastes like (Gulong brand) mushroom meat Sauce, although beyond the basic knowledge of "moon cakes", but this nostalgic taste itself is still acceptable​.
