Peony Jade Durian Mooncake

During the Mid Autumn Festival, I would buy mooncakes home  for my family. It is a kind of Chinese tradition that I will do every year. Even companies will send mooncakes to their customers as gift during this festive occasion.

Mooncakes nowadays came in all sort of creativity. Even hotels and restaurants came out with their own signature mooncake. Being a durian lover, I could not resist buying the Peony Jade durian mooncake, especially when it is 100% pure top grade Mao Shan Wang durian.

The strong durian aroma filled the air once I sliced the mooncake. The durian filling was very rich and nice. Unfortunately I thought the pandan snowskin was a bad combination which spoilt the richness taste of the durian filling.

VeganBurg @ Jalan Eunos

Think Fast Food is junk food? Think again. This phrase is painted on the wall of the new concept fast food restaurant, VeganBurg at Jalan Eunos. Yes they are selling vegetarian burgers, buns made from wholemeal organic grains and patties that are free of gluten and genetically modified organism.

Currently, VeganBurg offers 5 different type of burgers namely, Cracked Pepper Mayo, Hawaiian Pineapple, Smoky BBQ, Char-Grilled Satay and Tangy Tartar which were designed to provide different nutrients.

Sample of the menu

I ordered the Cracked Pepper Mayo meal (which contains Omega 3, Omega 6, Zinc) while my partner ordered the Smoky BBQ meal (which contains Beta-Carotene). The meal also included fries and juice. Surprisingly, the burgers tasted very yummy. It was way beyond my expectation for a vegetarian burger. The cracked pepper mayo patty had a nice soya flavour while the smoky BBQ patty had a mushroomy flavour. Being a meat person, I was worried that I may not have the "filling" satisfaction but I was wrong. I felt full and satisfied after the meal.

There is another unique concept at VeganBurg. They used Mesh Tin to serve their burgers. I have taken a picture of it after finishing my burgers and removing the paper
