Well, nowadays the mooncake business is so commercialized that you find yourself being able to purchase mooncakes even 2 months before the festival itself. I even heard that the big mooncake boys only need to operate once a year to produce mooncakes and the rest of the year, they can go "shake legs" (literally). But I believe that's not the scenario today as many mooncake producers are mushrooming in the country excluded those who make them from home!
With such a comprehensive mooncake review from Masak-Masak, I couldn't hesitate in trying one of the mooncakes that caught my eye. It was the Moet & Chandon infused Snow Skin Lotus Paste with Egg Yolk from Li Yen (Chinese Restaurant) from Ritz Carlton KL.

Ultra small egg yolk!
If you think RM8.50 for the mooncake is cheap, wait till you hear the size of the mooncake. Measuring at only 1.5 inches in diameter, I think I can finish the mooncake in 2 bites! I'm sure there's only a quarter of a salted egg yolk in there! However, the taste fared quite well. The snow skin is soft and the lotus paste is smooth. Very tender and not too oily or too dry. IMHO, it's the right texture. Although you can't really taste the champagne, I would still buy it in the future.
Actually I'm not really a fan of mooncakes but I do eat them during the festival as a dessert after dinners. I've received numerous mooncakes this year from brands like KLT, Overseas, Tai Thong, San Ferri and.... but none of them caught my attention like the one below!
Snow Skin Mooncake that looked like a "pau"!!!
The awesome factor - DOUBLE egg yolks!!!
There's Salted Egg Yolk in every bite!
Just the way I like it!

The awesome factor - DOUBLE egg yolks!!!This special mooncake is given to me by one of my friends whom only eat this mooncake and none other. Every year, he would preorder his mooncakes early from this shop and have them sent down to his office via taxi. You can't find these mooncakes here because they only have it in Kampar.
The aroma of the snow skin is very fragrant. The texture of the snow skin is springy and thick and quite translucent. The lotus paste is in the right amount without overwhelming the whole mooncake because I tend to get very sick of mooncake after having a piece due to the overloaded lotus paste. But of course the winning factor is the combination of such a tasty mooncake with double (yes, double!) salted egg yolks which is by far the biggest among all egg yolks I've seen in those commercialised mooncakes!
