Moon Pies for Mid-Autumn Festival

My cousin bought us a box of 8 "moon cakes" for Mid-Autumn Festival this year. The only that they aren't cakes, they're "moon pies".Like their cake cousins, these "moon pies" ($9.80 for 8 pieces) from Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry are sugary calorie-laden treats that do a fair bit of damage to your waistline. There are 7 different flavours in a box - Original (lotus seed paste in a pastry shell), Savoury, Pandan, Green Tea, Coffee, Yam and Black & White Sesame.
In spite being sooooo picky, my mum thinks the yam one is great. I tried Original (since there were 2 in the box) and Coffee. At first bite, the coffee moon pie was fantastic. The pastry exuded a buttery fragrance and the filling had an intense coffee flavour. Unfortunately, both were really really jelat. I had two halves and gave up after. I feel so fat~~~ *help*
If you wanna try something different this Mid-Autumn Festival (8th September 2007), go visit Le Cafe Confectionery & Pastry. This fifty year old pastry shop is famous for its golf ball pineapple tarts (10 for $7.20) and, for the health conscious, bean curd tarts ($5.50 for 6).
