As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, many restaurants and bakeries in Hong Kong and China are racing to produce mooncakes with new and unique flavors to serve the market. However, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, many cake manufacturers do not have enough resources to experiment with new recipes. In this situation, the Mira Hotel in Hong Kong has created a "one-of-a-kind" mooncake based on the restaurant's "signature cake".
This year's special mooncake has a filling made from caviar and truffles.
This mooncake initially attracted attention because of its expensive price, up to 230 USD for 4 cakes. And more special, the main ingredients for the cake are also extremely luxurious: truffle mushrooms and caviar - a type of salted fish eggs from precious sturgeon.
According to Vison Wong - the creator of this moon cake recipe, to create a perfect cake, she and the chefs at the hotel had to carefully study the ingredient ratio. Finally, the most perfect recipe for this expensive cake is to combine 1 gram of thinly sliced truffle mushrooms for every 100 grams of salted sturgeon eggs, then this mixture will be covered with a layer of glutinous rice flour on the outside like the way to make Japanese mochi.
It took Vison Wong and his chefs 10 weeks to come up with the perfect cake recipe.
The taste of this cake is not greasy and greasy because the caviar is seasoned well. In addition, the chefs added a little onion to keep the delicate saltiness of the caviar and the natural flavor of the truffle while creating a natural sweetness and crunchiness for the cake filling.
This expensive moon cake is kept in an iron box to ensure that its flavor is fully preserved.
Wong added that the purpose of creating these cakes is not for business. More importantly, they want to give customers new experiences inside familiar moon cakes. There will be 4,000 moon cakes with 1,000 boxes sold before October 1, which is the 15th day of the 8th lunar month this year.
