While everyone blogs about mooncakes, I decide not to. Besides, I did not eat a lot of mooncakes this year because they do nothing to my bottomline and my waistline!
Instead, I thought I would like to share with you what I eat without fail during Mooncake Festival every year.
No, it's not mini chocolate bars!
Although, I ate them last week as my brother bought a huge packet of these mini bars when he came back from his holiday in Langkawi.
There were Mars, Snickers, Milky Way and Bounty. Which one is your favourite? I think I like Snickers the best!
But Bounty with its coconut fillings were not too bad! Me and my sweet tooth! Haha!
And no, it's not chocolate cake either!
As if the mini bars were not sweet enough, I also ordered this chocolate cake from PJ Hilton. Well, thanks to blogger TZ who posted about this special offer from PJ Hilton and also thanks to the sweet tooth in me, I just could not resist buying it!
The 1kg chocolate cake which normally sells for RM65++ is now selling at only RM25++! Yes, you read that right! PJ Hilton is offering this as part of their 25th anniversary celebration.
So if you like chocolate cakes, quick! Call PJ Hilton at 03-79559122, ask them to connect you to Paya Serai coffeehouse and place your order!
In my opinion, the cakes were very chocolatey, moist and just at the right level of sweetness. However, make sure you don't cut the cake into slices and leave them in the fridge to prevent them from getting dry. Only cut the cake when you want to eat it.
I'm sure both the mini chocolate bars and this chocolate cake must have raised my blood sugar sky high! Not to mention adding the inches to my waistline! Must work out really hard this whole week! So much for not indulging in mooncakes!! LOL!
So if it's not mini choc bars and chocolate cakes, what do I eat every year without fail during Mooncake Festival?
Well, it is taro potatoes!
Have you eaten them before?
Here's a close up shot.
I love to eat these potatoes!
From the above photo, it looks as if I have taken a big bite out of that taro potato including its outer skin. Actually, I did peel off the skin but after peeling halfway, I could not wait so I just took a bite! Haha! So greedy, me!
Of course, I did eat some mooncakes. How could I not eat any mooncakes? It's Mooncake Festival after all! haha! But nothing too fancy this year. Just a Sushi King mooncake!
And I didn't even buy it. Was given to my family as a gift.
How was it? Well, it was not too bad. Of course you cannot compare it with those mooncakes from very established brands.
Next year, I may want to get those lovely durian mooncakes from Shang Palace in Shangri-la KL. I ate one piece at a friend's mooncake party and I instantly fell in love with it. Hmmm, yummy!!
