Read ST Posh Nosh's review on mooncakes from Pine Garden's Cake and decided to check it out. Something different, as normally mooncakes from hotels will get onto the list.
Address: Blk 529 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10
It looks like a normal traditional HDB estate cake shop. There was also a string of crowd surrounding the mooncake area.
The mooncakes are kept in these wooden showcases. There is a wide selection of mooncakes on the list, unfortunately, a lot were already sold out. I had wanted to buy the Crispy Skin Yam Paste mooncake....
In the end, I decided to give their '5-nuts' ($5.50) and single yolk ($6) a try. '5-nuts' typically include walnuts, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, almonds and peanuts. Jujube paste or red bean is used to make the fillings.
Also bought something different, which I initially thought that this is a Teochew type of mooncake but after reading up, it seems that this is a Hakka mooncake ($2.50). I will need to read up more to confirm...
The filling is also made up of some nuts, winter melons and probably cinnamon or maybe pepper. Interesting piece of cake...
