Thinking about mooncake?! The first impression that would be occupying your mind would be the usual impression....brown light fluffy crust with lotus root paste and at times accompanied by the pleasant surprise of salted egg yolk within....packaged in a standard gift box of "you know how" assumption!In my deepest thoughts and likings....mooncake has never ever been my priority in my "to die to eat" list....however i sincerely believe things will take a significant contra on my perception of moon
In my deepest thoughts and likings....mooncake has never ever been my priority in my "to die to eat" list....however i sincerely believe things will take a significant contra on my perception of mooncake which pretty much caught my amuse attention! Being one of the lucky winners to be given a chance to try out the mooncake by Cova i am preparing myself for the worst that i had encountered on my near to "heaven" mooncake experiences...which were total dryness, a hard nut to crack when in my tunneling machine and almost choking to death when i tried to gush it down! (Heaven!)
Sighting of the mooncakes within its gift box were totally refreshing especially chilling in the cooler for almost an hour. Cova intelligently made use of all its experience that they had accumulated since its establishment in 1817 right from the streets of the fashion famous Milan and came up with this four exquisite flavours that i have ever encounterd which are:
Mocha Snowskin Mooncake - which consists of the perking coffee blends and their silky smooth milk chocolate with a heavy but yet lighthearted touch to create the body that no mooncake lovers would have ever projected.
Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Snowskin Mooncake - induced an attractive golden-yellowish appearance on its fillings and with the light texture on its feel and create a diligently subtle sweetness.
Rose and Vanilla Snowskin Mooncake - consist of sponge cake layered with chocolate and cream with rose flavoring skin that create the unique rose-vanilla taste! Harmony of contrast at its very best.
Peanut and Chocolate Snowskin Mooncake - total chunkiness of the grinded peanuts with the integration of the fine touches of the rich and soothing chocolate creamery that will amplified your desire on the combustion within.
Going @ $38.50 with a plus... Cova's range of mooncakes is a must have for this Mid Autumn Festival...be it for anybody or any age group! Talking about Italian Flair with Chinese Tradition! My total change of perception of mooncake and escalating it to my "to die to eat" list!!! Big thumbs up ! Thank you Cova & Openrice!
