Durian Mooncake

As the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival approaches, it's not uncommon to see the sales of mooncakes picking up in Chinese inhabited places.

Since young, I've always hate mooncakes due to the lotus paste they have inside. I don't particularly dislike lotus paste, but mooncakes just contain too much of them. The thought of having my taste bud being overwhelmed by the sheer sweetness, and my throat filled with the sheer gluey thickness, oh God, it makes me feel like I am swallowing cum.

And modern mooncakes got a whole lot more innovative with lots of flavors to choose from. Common ones include yam, green tea, orange and durian. However they are literally only flavored lotus paste. Hence I decided to stay away from mooncakes altogether for a very long time.

Recently, I found this particular brand of durian mooncake, that is truly amazing. Anyway despite being a Taiwanese, I actually kinda like durians. The content of this mooncake is NOT flavored lotus paste, but literally, REAL durian meat!

Not very amazing packaging.

So nice I finished 3 before I even thought of the camera.

Beautifully decorated "skin".

One bite and I feel like I'm back to my teenager years when I first fell in love... LOL

Just sharing a little of something nice I ate.

End of the day, I am still the man who will conquer the world and rebuild it into a righteous place.

To accomplish such an extraordinary goal, I cannot allow myself to be ordinary. There is no room for weakness in my life.
