Chapter 162: Eating during the holidays
The crispy outer layer of the fresh meat mooncake is baked to be extremely crispy and soft. When you touch it lightly with your hand, the crispy outer layer falls off like snowflakes.
It was so crispy that it almost fell apart.
Shen Keheng couldn't help it and took a bite of the fresh meat mooncake in his hand.
With a gentle bite, the layers of puff pastry make a crispy "crunch" sound in your mouth.
The puff pastry, with its roasted crispy aroma, melts in your mouth as soon as you bite it open, and an extremely crispy texture spreads in your mouth.
As the crust of the pancake was bitten open, the originally faint aroma of pork meat instantly became stronger, arousing the deepest greed in my heart.
The pork filling inside is tender and juicy, with a moderate salty and fragrant taste. When you take a bite, the gravy explodes in your mouth, and the mellow taste is mixed with a subtle salty and fragrant taste, which instantly overflows with freshness and fragrance.
Chew it carefully, you will find the crispy and delicious crust and the tender and juicy filling, one dry and one wet, one crispy and one soft.
The combination of these two completely different tastes makes the dish taste unique.
After swallowing the mooncake, the rich meaty aroma still lingers on the tip of your tongue, lingering in your mouth for a long time, making you intoxicated.
As soon as Zhou Zeyan saw Shen Keheng's appearance, he could imagine the deliciousness of the fresh meat mooncake. He brought the mooncake to his mouth and took a light bite.
The crust is crispy and powdery, yet slightly tough.
After biting open the layers of puff pastry, the filling inside is revealed, and a rich meaty aroma wafts into your nose.
Although this is a fresh meat mooncake, Zhou Zeyan originally thought that the filling should be made up of fresh meat and other fillings.
Now that he saw the filling clearly, he realized that the filling of the fresh meat mooncake was made entirely of fresh meat.
Zhou Zeyan felt that he did not use much force, but the pork filling inside was squeezed out of some gravy due to the gentle squeezing action.
The rich gravy slowly seeps into the crust, which makes people's appetite just by looking at it.
Zhou Zeyan took another big bite of the fresh meat mooncake, this time eating both the crust and the filling into his mouth.
The crust is crispy and delicious, and the pork filling inside is just the right amount of fat and lean, firm but not dry.
As you chew it, the crispy aroma of the pastry crust and the meaty aroma of the pork spread in your mouth at the same time. The taste is rich and layered, fragrant but not greasy, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Shen Keheng and Zhou Zeyan were both silent, just eating the mooncakes in their hands bite by bite and drinking a sip of tea from time to time.
I didn’t expect that mooncakes made with fresh meat could be so delicious.
Madam Zhou already had a liking for mooncakes stuffed with five nuts and ham, and now when she heard Shen Huazheng say that egg yolks were added, she immediately became interested.
The salted egg yolk has a dense and sandy texture, salty and fragrant, but it does not make people feel greasy at all.
With its addition, it is like adding a "stabilizing needle" into the five-nut ham mooncake.
Take a light bite, the crust is soft and delicious, the fillings inside are rich and varied, not sweet, greasy or tough, and just the right amount of softness.
The golden and round salted egg yolk is in the middle of the mooncake, which just neutralizes the sweetness and stickiness of the mooncake skin and fillings.
As you chew, the sweet aroma of almonds, olives, walnuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds and other nuts is instantly released in your mouth.
Combined with the rich and soft salted egg yolk, the freshness of scallops and shredded ham, and the sweetness of candied winter melon, it is truly delicious.
The various fillings are harmoniously integrated with each other, with rich taste layers. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. It can be said to be salty and sweet with a unique flavor.
Adding salted egg yolk to the five-nut and ham shredded fillings does not feel difficult to blend at all, but makes the taste more perfect.
While chewing, it is sometimes crispy and sometimes full of fragrance in your mouth, which is really interesting.
Everyone was eating their favorite mooncakes, and Shen Keting also picked up one with egg yolk and mochi filling and took a bite.
As soon as he took a bite, he was stunned.
Although the name of Egg Yolk Mochi Mooncake is that the egg yolk comes first and the mochi comes second.
But in fact, it is egg yolk wrapped in mochi filling.
When you take a bite, your teeth first touch the oily and fragrant crust, and then the soft, glutinous and elastic mochi.
Finally, you will bite into the sandy and oily egg yolk.
Mochi and salted egg yolk seem to be two unrelated ingredients, but who would have thought that they are so harmonious when combined together. It is simply a wonderful combination.
The perfect combination of sweet and salty, layer by layer, full of a wonderful balance between sweet and salty, the fragrance lingers in the mouth for a long time.
The soft, sweet taste of mochi and the salty aroma of egg yolk blend together. It may seem strange, but it tastes unexpectedly delicious.
It makes people unable to help but take one bite after another and indulge in this delicious enjoyment.
Both Shen Zhaonian and Zhou have recently become obsessed with the tea-flavored mooncake series. Shen Zhaonian likes the Longjing winter melon flavor, while Zhou likes the oolong osmanthus flavor.
The biggest difference between tea-flavored mooncakes and other mooncakes is that you can feel both sweetness and freshness when you eat them.
The Longjing Winter Melon Filled Mooncake is made from Longjing tea and candied winter melon, and the crust is also the familiar syrup crust.
The sugared winter melon is sweet and refreshing, and the tea fragrance is elegant, subtle but not vulgar.
When you take a bite, the first thing your tongue feels is the soft and fluffy crust, followed by the sweet winter melon puree and the lingering tea aroma.
Chewing it carefully, the crispy fragrance of the pastry crust, the sweet aroma of the winter melon puree and the aroma of tea are intertwined, and every part of your mouth is filled with this gentle and lingering fragrance.
The two fillings are perfectly combined together. The refreshing tea aroma dilutes the sweetness of the sugared winter melon, and the sugared winter melon in turn alleviates the slight bitterness of the Longjing tea.
The two complement each other.
The subtle and elegant tea fragrance blends with the sweetness of mooncakes, just like deep affection, flowing through every delicate taste.
Oolong Osmanthus Mooncakes are made with oolong tea and osmanthus lava filling. The osmanthus lava filling is refreshing and pleasant, and will not overly steal the aftertaste of the oolong tea.
One bite and the bursting sugar osmanthus has a rich and layered taste.
The faint floral fragrance and the sweet taste are intertwined and bloom on the tip of the tongue, and the whole person seems to be wrapped in a light and elegant sweetness.
After the sweetness, the rich tea aroma spreads in the mouth, chasing and entwining with the remaining sweet fragrance in the mouth. The tip of the tongue is intertwined with sweetness and surrounded by fragrance.
The lingering aftertaste of the tea aroma and the sweetness of the osmanthus filling linger in your mouth for a long time.
After swallowing the mooncake, you can still feel the sweetness in your mouth, which makes you feel happy.
Everyone was holding mooncakes or teacups in their hands, eating and drinking while chatting, and they were having a great time.
Chen Huazheng took a bite of the five-nut ham mooncake, looked at the smiling family members around her, then looked at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of a sentence she had heard before.
Every mooncake with a thin skin and delicious filling is made by our ancestors who filled this food that represents reunion with the most precious sugar, nuts and meat as a way of expressing their deep affection and longing.
Shen Huazheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes slightly moist.
Perhaps, what we eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival is not mooncakes, but longing.
