Yan’s Cakes (Takashimaya)

Its the annual chinese new year festival again. Besides the spring cleaning, i like every thing about this festival. haha. The best thing that i can look forward to during this festive, is definitely the yummy goodies.

This year, my mum specially bought back one of my favorite goodies --- the almond melts from Takashimaya. Frankly speaking, this almond melts looks nothing fantastic at all. It does not have a extraordinary size nor does it has colourful appearance, whats presented in front of me is just few reasonable sized almond cookies placed in a red lid container.

Just one bite of the almond melts, i immediately fall in love with it. Why, you may ask? This is because, this almond melts really "melt" in my mouth. I have eaten other almond melts before, some simply tasted too crunchy and the better ones will only crumble in my mouth. I have never tasted one that can really melt in my mouth, this is the first time.

Beside the melting mechanism, there is also lots of almond bits in the cookie itself. So much so that, when the almond cookie has complete its melting process, one can still savour on the left over crunching almond bits. Bascially, this almond melts gave you two different types of texture -- soft and melty ; hard and crunchy.

Issnt it wonderful to realize two very different texture can actually be combined together to produce a heavenly cookie? haha. Perhaps,looks is really deceiving. Just how could one know if the almond melts is acutally so good without tasting it?
