Popular Pineapple Custard Mooncake Gift Boxes from Taiwan
There should be no strangers to the popular Taiwan souvenir brand Sunny Hills. For this Mid-Autumn Festival, the brand is launching a limited-edition pineapple custard and apple mooncake gift box with a hint of tartness is for you!
About Sunny Hills
Sunny Hills strictly selects local fruits and makes them into delicious sweet treats that can best represent the local region. In pursuit of great taste that is natural and simple, the brand has brought these Taiwanese specialities overseas so foodies around the globe can enjoy these amazing flavours.
Aromatic and crunchy red jade apples are combined with soft and delicate sweet potato paste to create the mooncake’s smooth and mild texture; the Pineapple Custard Mooncake has a fragrant, savoury taste that is elevated by Taiwanese pineapples’ natural sweetness and tartness. The beautiful pineapple pattern on the mooncake is symbolic of good harvest and prosperity.
Simple yet absolutely delicious, the pineapple cakes are delicately made with concentrated Taiwanese pineapple paste, natural cream and specially selected flour. The apple cakes are crafted with red jade apples from Japan’s Aomori Prefecture, which have been made into a compote to retain its sweetness, acidity and crunchiness. A layer of lemon glaze has also be added to the flaky pastry for a mild sweetness.
