Many Hong Kongers worship Japanese foods including me. But I should admit that there are also many costly Japanese foods have beautiful rendition and fine handcraft but the tastes are not specially scrumptious. When I came across YOKU MOKU, the cabinet eggrolls and cakes were so tantalizing but they were pricey. So I took a look at openrice and its history before deciding to buy it.
There were generally good reviews in openrice. For the background of YOKU MOKU, it has over 40 years of history and its signature product is Cigare. So far there are over 150 points of sales in Japan with overseas branches across 5 regions.
Reading the ingredient label of original Cigare, it stated butter, sugar, egg white, white flour, almond powder, vanilla and the lifetime was 1.5 months left. No wonder it is so expensive as butter is the main ingredient in this Cigare and the short lifetime. On the contrary, white flour is seemed to be complementary ingredient.
It is cheaper to buy an economical packaging. Individual packages of eggroll were packed in a transparent plastic bag. I took a smell at the eggroll after opening the packaging. The eggy aroma delighted my noise. Then it was time to please my palates, I supposed. No disappointment to me, the eggy and milky flavour were well balanced and almond powder and vanilla added resulting enticing eggy flavour. To be honest, I wondered why this Cigare was so eggy as there was eggwhite added without eggyolk. If there was really no other flavouring added except vanilla, I should give it a clap. On the other hand, as butter is the main ingredient while wheat flour as a subordinate one, you can imagine how puffy texture it was. Of course, eggwhite also contributed the puffy texture as it can act as baking powder which also means no chemical baking powder is needed. In summary, eggroll fanatic should not miss this item.
