I start on the second box of Yong Sheng mooncakes. To see both boxes of 8 mooncakes and a review of the first 2 flavours (gula melaka and yam red date), go here. For the next 2 flavours, rose red bean and pineapple lava, see here.
This box is called "Field of Autumn". Its four flavours are officially Gingko Black Sesame Mooncake, Fire Rose Mooncake, Sunrise Horizon Mooncake and Gula Melaka Mooncake, which I believe is the exact same one as in the first box but with a different shape on the outside.
The Sunrise Horizon Mooncake is chestnut-flavoured lotus paste mooncake with a black sesame paste core. What's notable is that it is sugar-free, sing maltitol syrup and isomalt in place of sugar!
The chestnut flavour was quite faint, but I guess it definitely tasted different from normal pure lotus. There was a slight nutty and earthy chestnut fragrance. It was even harder to tell when eaten together with the black sesame core. Overall, it was an interesting flavour that was pleasant to the palate, and less guilt from it being sugar-free is definitely a huge perk that makes the pleasure more guilt free. But I don't really get how this pairing complements each other.
