I remember it being rather surreal with people dressed in nighties going down to the market for some food shopping.
This place is now like a retro food court with lots of instaworthy spots for pictures.
Before I left, I bagged myself a Chinese New Year pudding by Super Gourmet because they are free of addictives and made with natural ingredients.
Everything is basically low in sugar and sodium.
All their festive sweet and savoury puddings were captivating because of the ingredients used from Sun dried Chinese sausages to Taiwanese brown sugar.
The two sweet offerings were tempting so it was Taiwanese brown sugar vs the Wild black wolfberries and date pudding.
Since I still have a few savoury puddings at home, I got the sweet Taiwanese brown sugar and ginger pudding which is made with matured ginger juice and coconut milk as I am not so keen on dates.
For their savoury offerings, they had traditional taro pudding, radish pudding with dried scallop and preserved meat and morel mushroom pudding.
Although taro is delish, morel mushroom pudding is even better because these mushrooms are hard to get and it is also vegetarian.
Now the moment of truth!!
Ideally you should dip the slices in egg before frying to give it that firmness but I wanted to try it without the egg first to see what it taste like.
After pan frying the Taiwanese brown sugar pudding slices, the texture was soft yet firm with a lovely chew.
It did not cling to your teeth when you chewed upon it.
As for the taste, I really liked the gingery kick from the ginger juice soothed by the sweetness of the Taiwanese brown sugar while the coconut flavour remained subtle.
Overall not too sweet as claimed so I definitely recommend this and since this place is a foodcourt, I feel that it should also be on the menu during the day as a dish so people can try before they buy.
