[Review 7814] Low sugar mooncakes by Royal Plaza hotel @ 帝京餅店 Cake Shop

Finally more and more people are health conscious these days hence the demand of low sugar products.

Saying that cakes and desserts at Royal Plaza Hotel are always at the right sweetness but being labelled Low Sugar is a peace in mind when you give them to people especially elderly and children.

This year, tried the low sugar White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Pine Nuts. They were not as sweet as promised hence you can taste the white lotus seed paste better complimented by the pine nuts.

Salted Egg yolk and wintermelon pastry
2019-09-17  68 瀏覽
Normally these square pastry blocks are filled with pineapple but at Wingwah they have ones filled with wintermelon.
I got had salted eggyolk with wintermelon.
I really liked it because it wasn't too sweet and the saltiness was good.
The taste has improved from last year because the butter in the pastry was not too overwhelming.
Again,  the prices are marked up and discounted because last year it was priced at HKD17 and marked down to HKD9 and it was the same this year so I am glad the media has done an investigation into this issue!

Got the mini moon cakes from Peninsula boutique.

The pastry was very buttery, and when the packet was opened, you could smell the butter from the pastry.

The pastry was about 4mm thick and tasted like the Taiwanese pineapple roll pastry, but softer.

The egg custard in the middle was warm orange in colour, and the texture was dense like cheesecake.
In terms of taste, I found it too sweet and sugary.
It did not taste as good as the first time I tried it in 2012 because it was just sugary and chalky.

Yoghurt Custard Mooncakes for 2019 at Kee Wah

At Kee Wah Bakery, they have yoghurt custard mooncakes for 2019!!!
What's good is that at the Flagship store in Wanchai, you can get freshly baked ones so you can buy them individually and decide which one you like.
The fruity ones are really cute with a choice of strawberry yoghurt custard or chocolate orange peel custard.
I was surprised how good they tasted especially the strawberry yoghurt custard as there were pieces of dried strawberries in it while the pairing of chocolate and orange peel never goes wrong.
They taste good at room temperature or even chilled.
At the moment, they are doing offers which are shown on the flyers.

Over the moon with the world's first KFC mooncakes
2019-07-17  114 瀏覽
A while ago, I spotted this huge signage that KFC was going to open a new branch at Causeway Bay in July so made a mental note about it.
The new branch is located on the corner and occupies two floors!!
 0 讚好


The street level is Sweet Box which is grab and go desserts and drinks, the first floor is the ordering area with self service kiosks and bar seats while the second floor is the main dining area.
 0 讚好


Both floors have an order screen that indicates the orders that are ready to pick up.

Attended the KFC Causeway Bay new store and Mooncake official launch.

At the new concept store, there are some exclusive options to give diners a different experience.
Grilled chicken combo:
The chicken is grilled to order and it was really comforting because it visually reminded me of nandos, although the taste is different.
The chicken tastes like the flava roast.
 0 讚好


Oven glazed hot wings platter:
The wings platter is great for sharing.
My favourites were the garlic cheese and honey glazed hot wings while most people liked the sweet chili.

Chizza:
Previously this was only available takeaway but they were so popular that it is now offered for dine ins.
It was appetizing with the pineapple chunks.
 0 讚好


Baked rice with chicken filet combo:
For carb lovers, this is another option as well as the rice buckets.
All of them were tasty but my favourite had to be the  grilled chicken because it was grilled to perfection.

As well as chicken, they have desserts!!!


For mid Autumns festival, I was over the moon with their new World's ever KFC moonlight bucket which lights up with LED.

Inside this cool moonlight bucket you will find Moonakes!!!

There are two flavours:  Golden Lava custard and Spicy chicken and nuts mooncakes.
The Golden Lava custard is a popular mooncake in Hong Kong so it can't go wrong.


For the Spicy Chicken and nuts mooncake, think of it like chewy chicken biscuits gaaijaibeng with chicken floss and nuts inside just like the five nuts mooncake.


Overall I felt that the chicken mooncakes were quite traditional so it won't be a shock for the tastebuds.
