We proceed to sample the Crystal Lotus Paste with Fine Oolong mooncake. I like that the lotus paste is smooth, not too sweet and has a slight hint of tea fragrance. Next is the Crystal Lemon Lotus Paste with Honey Comb snow skin mooncake which is the crowd favorite. The lemon lotus paste has a citrusy and tangy taste which feels very refreshing.

We then proceed to try the Crystal Red Tea and Coffee Lotus Paste which has a light aroma of coffee. And last but not least, it’s the Crystal Chocolate Peppermint Lotus Paste snow skin mooncake. Chocolate and peppermint is a delicious combination. It makes a good dessert after a heavy meal.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
