Teochew style mooncakes are different from the usual mooncakes that we are used to seeing in supermarkets and specialty shops. These mooncakes have a flaky skin which is similar to puff pastry. The filling is typically yam instead of the usual red-bean or lotus paste. Different as it may be from traditional mooncakes, E of Foodie Tales and Senor Pablo will agree, it simply ROCKS!

They cost B$5.00 with yolk and B$4.50 without. Fantastic little snack for breaking fast this ramadan. To order, call 8779930 or email [email protected]
