Or known as Jia Nu Bin in Mandarin. That was the sign that draws my attention when Hang Heung is in Singapore again at Great World City to sell their sinfully rich, delicious and to die for chinese pastries. Just in case you do not know what does that means, it simply means: wedding biscuits.
Bought a box of wive cakes on the spot at $7 for a box of 6. As tomorrow is their last day, they had a clerance sale: packed cookies at $1.50 - $7 each. Buy 2 get one free. Cookies are not really that tasty, but here are some of the pastries that is worth dying for:
Wive cakes. Just in case you do not know the story of wive cake, it's about a man who sold his wive to a rich family as servant to clear off his debts. To commemorate his wife, he made a pastry which consist of flour and wintermelon candy and lard. This becomes the most well known Wive's cake. Sinfully rich and thick, the not-so-sweet tast accompanies by the nice fragrance. Best to go down with a cup of Tie Guan Yin tea. For ya info, their outlet in HK sells about 3000 pieces of wives cake daily.
Egg rolls. Make freshly on the spot. It taste great, but it's not cheap. $4 for a packet of 5 rolls. Umm.....that's pretty expensive, i would say.
Lotus seed paste pastry with century egg. If it is salted egg yolk, that would be nice. But century egg? I prefer the century egg congee. Never try this marriage before, cos century egg taste funny when eaten raw. However, their lotus seed paste is fantastic, together with their thin pastry skin.
Now, i will have to wait till Sept, where they will be here again, together with tonnes of my favourite: mooncakes.
And mabey i will be working with Kelly for my IR then?
