These are what award-winning Tong Wah Confectionery has been striving to achieve in its mooncakes since it was founded 61 years ago. Started out as a humble home-based mooncake business that took orders only from friends and traditional Chinese eateries in K.L., it has grown and is now supplying world-class mooncakes to large multimedia companies, hotels, restaurants, coffeehouses, and even temples and churches. It also ships to Brunei, Singapore, Hong Kong and other parts of China.
While striving to uphold tradition, Tong Wah has also been introducing wholesome twists to its mooncakes — high fiber, low sugar, preservatives free, hygienically produced to ensure fresh taste. And its four bestsellers make thoughtful gifts for your loved ones this festive season.
Assorted Fruits & Nuts Mooncake (招牌素五仁月餅)
The filling is of interesting textural contrasts, chewy with crunch here and there, thanks to the generous amounts of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. It is perfectly sweet, and gives out a delicate spicy, citrusy whiff.
Black Sesame-White Lotus Paste Mooncake (黑芝麻素白蓮蓉月餅)
The soft nuttiness of the black sesame paste marries seamlessly with the faintly milky and caramel-ly flavor of the lotus paste without tasting overly greasy, lending zeal to the otherwise monotonous dialogue.
Salt-Roasted Red (Azuki) Bean Paste Mooncake (鹽焗素豆沙月餅)
Velvety, dark-red sweet bean filling that murmurs a soft citrusy tone and a rumbly savory note from the long, slow roast in salt.
Pandan-Lotus Paste with Vegan Salted “Egg Yolk” Mooncake (翠環素蛋黃月餅)
First of its kind. The pandan leaf’s arresting sweet grassy aroma and the mung bean paste’s sweet-savory theme elevate the soul of the otherwise lonely lotus paste. And the vegan “salted egg yolk,” which tastes like the real deal, adds a salty kick that accentuates the lotus paste’s caramel-ly flavor.
Tong Wah’s mooncakes have been certified by the ISO with an ISO9001:2000 status, and by the JAKIM with a Halal certificate, as well as a Good Manufacturing Practice certificate. They can be purchased at Tong Wah’s factory at Jalan Kampung Attap, which opens 8 a.m. through 8 p.m., daily. For inquiries, call 03-2273 6278.
