~ Black Sesame Paste Mixed Nuts Mooncakes ~ sweet and savoury taste, filled with crunchy nuts, dried fruits, and the fragrance of Chinese Jin Hua ham 金华火腿. It’s so addictive that I can’t just stop at one😋🥮 The recipe for making mixed nuts mooncakes is versatile, you can mix and tweak as many types of nuts and dried fruits combinations as you desired. I have added some black sesame paste in the fillings to replace the use of oil. This is a healthier alternative to mooncakes that uses oil, lard, and sweetened bean paste fillings.

It has been a very long time since I last have Peking duck 北京片皮鴨. There are a few old Beijing restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui. We visited 泰豐廔 Tai Fung Lau Peking Restaurant for Peking Duck this time. You can tell from the interior that it is an old restaurants with Chinese paintings around the shop. Two of us ordered half a Peking duck that we were already quite full after eating. The Peking Duck Pancake was rather thick, not the thin and elastic sheet that you found in other restaurants. It went well with the Peking Duck too. The staff was nice and gave us suggestions on what we should order. My favourite part is when he asked me to go out to take videos 😛😛😛 What you do is dip the Peking duck slices with Peking Sauce. Put it on the pancakes, add cucumber 青瓜 and Leek 京葱. The portion is big, half a Peking Duck is definitely more than enough for 2 people. On my to-eat list - 蕃薯拔絲 Hot Candied sweet potatoes and their traditional Beijing hotpot. I saw a “stove” in the table, not sure if they offer it in the winter! We was quite disappointed with the Diced chicken with cashew nut 醬爆腰果雞丁🥲 Appertizers (Peanuts and Pickled vegetable) are accompanied with tea.

First reaction was “𝘰𝘮𝘨 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺” and “𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?! 𝘚𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱” because these tarts from @180ovenbaked are priced affordably from just $2.40 , which is such a steal given the current insane prices i get charged at some places😖💸 granted, they are mini tarts smaller than your average but still I liked the 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭 ($𝟐.𝟒𝟎), the curd carries a nice sweet-sour balance. The candied lemon atop adds more sweetness for those who like it sweeter, but i actually prefer to do away with it. The 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭 ($𝟐.𝟒𝟎) was to my liking as well, being pleasantly fruity and sweet, just that the fresh berries itself were sourish though this is hardly within the baker’s control. I like my earl grey strong but the 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭 ($𝟑.𝟓𝟎) was pretty mild- you have to really pay attention or have the fillings alone to notice its presence. Can't really comment on the 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐭 ($𝟐.𝟔𝟎) as i'm not a fan of cooked apples but the cinammon was rather fragrant. Overall i felt that the aesthetics and prices are definitely attractive -tastewise was pretty ok but the most important element - the crusts was a little disappointing as they were pretty soggy even though i had them on the day of delivery. Perhaps a consistency issue that has to be worked on since i see differing povs. . . . . . #tarts #fpdxhomebakers #sgbakes #lemontart #strawberrytart #appletart #cinammonapple #sghomebaker #homebakersg #sgbakes
