The white lotus paste from Phoon Huat was out of stock (probably in every outlet) when I went to buy them the Friday before the festival. (I went to Toa Payoh outlet and called up the main branch at Geylang.) I must stock up enough early next year. I ended up buying from Kwong Cheong Thye. KCT had many varieties of white lotus paste which they said were from different suppliers. The one I bought was mid range (based on price) and I thought it was a bit too sweet and too sticky. They also had many other types of pastes. The good thing was you could taste them before buying. I just stuck to white lotus paste.
I filled with several varieties of chocolate truffles and wrapped in different coloured skins. The truffles in the picture above were a little hard and so it didn't look nice when cut. Sorry for the dark picture. It was night time and I was in a hurry so didn't get the lighting right.
Anyway, enough of mooncakes for this year. Until I find really good pralines, I will be sticking with my traditional salted egg yolks.
