Thanks to the wonderful invitation, I recently get to sample some delightful handmade mooncakes by the award winning Tao Chinese Cuisine. Baking fresh daily from 1 August to 27 September 2015, this year’s range of mooncakes are priced from RM20 nett per piece and comprises infusion of new, enriching ingredients such as the Japanese purple potato paste and yam omachi, along with pumpkin and Malaysia’s must have “red prawn” durian paste!
Carefully handmade crafted by dim sum chef Lo Tion Sion to ensure good quality and taste, the exquisite mooncake delicacies features old time favourites and new innovation flavours.
