Sungkai at iLotus

Posted on 06/09/200806/09/2008 By Reedz

iLotus Restaurant continues to be a hot favorite among locals for breaking fast. Last year, when we were there, it was really packed, and this year, even with added capacity, the place felt really packed as well. Thankfully we were seated alfresco and it did feel a bit less claustrophobic…

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 mooncakes@anakbrunei.org
