Pistachio Swiss Roll at Taipan
2019-05-05 43 瀏覽
I love Pistachio so didn't hesitate in trying this but didn't really have any expectations because the Chinese cake mix is different from the English.
As expected the roll was too sweet so it killed the roll completely otherwise it would have been delicious.
I tried the pistachio filling on its own and it was silky with a lovely pistachio taste.
Anyway, who cares, life goes on, the level of sweetness probably won't be changed in future.
As well as Swiss roll, they had fancy sachimas in different flavours like Orange and honey.

[Review 6020] Chocolate and coconut bread @ 大班麵包西餅 Tai Pan Bread & Cakes Company Limited

Chocolate and coconut bread
2017-06-11 224 瀏覽
Every now and then, Tai Pan bakery will come up with some creative bakery and I will always fall victim for it!!This time they came up with this coconut and chocolate bread which got my attention because it was big and it was dusted with this weird cartoon with glasses and a moustache.
I didn't take a big first bite but I was impressed that there was some filling right to the edges and it was uniform in the middle.
The coconut filling inside was sweet and savoury, the exact stuff you find in Chinese cocktail buns (coconut buns) but white.
Not bad but I prefer the texture of Western bread.

Thanks to Mjqueen7e for this huge gingerbread man which is about the size of an A5 sheet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
gingerbread man:
You can see the size of it compared to the tea spoon on the right.
As it was really big, I had to break it up but the gingerbread man was quite hard and needed immense force to break it and eat it!
The sweetness was just right with a strong ginger taste!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The packaging for it this year is much nicer.

Sachimas are popular treats for kids.
To me, they are similar to sticky rice crispy/cornflake bars made in cookery lessons at school.
I was attracted to the ones at Taipan because they had so many flavours for the sachima!!
-Brown sugar and cashew nut
-peanut and raisin
-orange and honey
-ginger
-meat floss
The flavours were rather funky and modern!!
Anyway I bought the Brown sugar and cashew nut flavour.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Brown sugar and cashew nut sachima:
The good thing about these modern sachimas is that they do not have that weird smell.
The sachimas were light and delicious, the sweetness was just right, but the brown sugar taste was not strong enough.
The main problem was that it fell apart when you ate them.

Taipan Bread & Cakes is located right next to Wing Wah Bakery on the basement floor of Metro City.
Contemplated in getting a custard bun covered with wheatgerm or a BBQ pork bun but the Custard bun was quite hard in texture when I picked it up with tongs so I chose the BBQ pork bun.

BBQ pork bun:
The bread was sweet as usual because it is the Chinese style bun.
The filling inside was quite nice and not too sweet, the barbecue pork was lean.

I was really surprised to see danish puff pastries at Taipan because they rarely do Western bakery products, and even if they do, those pastries are guaranteed to taste Chinese style.
When I saw these, I decided to get them because they looked quite good for a Taipan attempt!
They were really cheap too at $10 for 3.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Strawberry danish puff:
The sweetness was just right with lovely sticky strawberry jam in the middle and there was custard as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Blueberry danish puff:
Out of the three, the blueberry tasted the best because the blueberry jam was nice and fragrant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Peach danish puff:
The pastry was slightly thick for this one and the peach was slightly sour.

Anyway, had a gathering and Ivy brought out this huge gingerbread man for us to share!
As it was really big, we had to break it up.

I was attracted to this cake because of the layers, it reminded me of the baumkuchen cakes.
I did not know the name of this cake because it was in the assorted cake section.
The taste was quite nice, there was buttery salted creamy in the middle unfortunately.
The top of the cake was pretty and tasted like iced sugary butter.
On top there was a marshmallow.

It was really nice that the chocolate inside was liquid as stated.
Since I do not like the mung bean, the strong taste from the chocolate was able to cover it.
It was good to cut it while it was frozen to get a clean cut then let it stand for a while to eat.

I dont really like Chinese bakery, but Taipan Bread & Cakes have been quite creative this year, first with the chocolate bar cake and then the milk carton cake.
Now a big version of a matchbox with matchstick cookies inside!~
Basically it just tastes like normal cookies, except the brown tip part tastes of chocolate.

Bakery is boring these days, the products have been the same for years, cakes, buns and pastries.
Finally, something interesting was marketed from Taipan, the chocolate cake packaged like a chocolate bar, same with the hokkaido milk cake.
It takes the cakes to a whole new level.
Next time, I will try the caramel roll too.
The chocolate cake basically tastes like the normal chocolate chiffon cake.
I would have preferred if the cakes were cut into cubes making it easier to eat and share.
Currently they sell at $16 per pack, but if you pay by octopus, they only cost $14.
