Chinese New Year rolls around and I don't like any of the food that is sold during that time except for one thing. Turnip cake (蘿蔔糕). That's the only thing I like. I buy myself one every year. I try a different place each year. I just want to say ... nothing compares to my mom's! But since she's not here, I have to buy commercially to get my fix.This year, decided to try Pat Chun's turnip cake.It was a rectangular loaf, neatly packed in a cardboard box.It was vacuum sealed.It also came with a pl
This year, decided to try Pat Chun's turnip cake.
It was a rectangular loaf, neatly packed in a cardboard box.
It was vacuum sealed.
It also came with a plastic lid to cover on top so leftovers can be placed in the fridge for later. It felt pretty sturdy.
I made a few for myself. Yeah ... it seems a lot for one person but I LOVE TURNIP CAKE! Can't get enough. Pat Chun's turnip cake had nice chunks of daikon. It had some preserved sausages and mushroom bits. Upon frying, it held together well. The only problem was, it didn't taste very good. The pro was that it wasn't overly sweet and wasn't over done with MSG like some other brands I've tried. The con was that there was way too much flour and it tasted exactly like it. Starchy flour.
Won't try this brand again next year.
