Taro swiss roll edible cloth towel and egg tarts @ Saint honore

Bought some egg tarts and a taro swiss roll.
The eggs tarts from Saint Honore are unique, the rest in Hong Kong are round, the ones at St Honore are oval shaped.
The egg tarts have the biscuit base crust.

The taro swiss roll was interesting, because its Chinese name was "mo gun darn guen" which means rolled cloth swiss roll.
Its appearance does look similar to a piece of rolled cloth.

Sometimes the Chinese swiss rolls can look different, because when the thin layer of sponge cake is baked, the exposed side is rolled on the outside giving it a smooth texture finish, however some bakeries in Hong Kong like to roll the exposed side on the inside, leaving the porous surface on the outside making it look like cloth.

The taro swiss roll I got was lilac in colour, not as purple as the purple on the plastic bag.
The taro sponge tasted nice, but the cream inside it was disgusting, the usual salted chinese cream, which is quite disgusting, the taste of sweet sponge along with salty buttercream.

Extremely tiny swiss rolls

Saw these cute mini swiss rolls, there were two flavours Vanilla and Black forest.
I chose the black forest swiss roll.

Black forest swiss roll:
The swiss roll was so tiny measuring about 3cm x 4cm.
There was not much jam inside the roll which was disappointing.
