Kung Fu Mooncake

As well as sweet potato, black sesame mooncakes are becoming popular too.
Tried the Kung Fu mooncakes from Kung Fu dimsum which are cute mini mooncakes filled with dense and sweet black sesame paste and egg yolks!
Great for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Black sesame butter cookies @ 太子餅店

太子餅店 (Sheung Wan)
Thanks to Mjqueen7e for getting me these black sesame cookies from Prince Bakery.

This shop also sells huge macarons at low prices and pretty cakes.

I was once tempted to buy the Angel Chiffon series shown below.
I liked the way the pastel coloured cream was sandwiched in between two pure white pieces of sponge but they needed refrigeration if you don't eat them imediately which was why I did not buy them.

Black sesame butter cookies:


These cookies were delicious and melts in your mouth.
Each piece had black sesame in it giving a nice crunch and black sesame taste.

Kee Wah's Black sesame egg rolls

Kee Wah (Central)

Thanks to Garycwm for getting me these Black sesame egg rolls.

I really liked them, they were extremely crispy embedded with lots of black sesame.
The rolls were rolled really thinly and evenly.

There was a fragrant buttery taste.

Black Sesame Sundae @ McDonald's

I am not a fan of black sesame but tried it anyway.

The ice-cream itself was surprisingly sweeter than the sesame sauce.

I really liked the texture of the black sesame sauce, it was really thick and had lots of grounded sesame in it.

If the ice-cream was not that sweet then it would have been perfect.

Black sesame & Hokkaido milk panna cotta

Tried the Black sesame & Hokkaido milk panna cotta because it looked interesting.

However when you get a close look at it, the dark grey cream looks fake and inedible like toy plasticine!

One thing that I learn was never to trust the English on the menu even though this one looked perfectly normal.
Here it is labelled as Black sesame & Hokkaido milk panna cotta which looks perfecly correct judging by the appearance of the dessert.
The black layer and grey cream must be black sesame and the white layer should be panna cotta, but if you ask someone who can read Chinese it turns out it contains bamboo charcoal as well. I found out when I showed the fridge picture to someone. Bamboo charcoal may be not everyones cup of tea whilst black sesame is commonly known.
When I first tried food with bamboo charcoal I was quite hesitant about it as well.
Anyway now that I know it had bamboo charcoal, the weird texture that I thought was the black sesame must have been the bamboo charcoal.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Charcoal cream:
Initially I thought it was cream made with sesame because of the colour. However the texture was like cream mixed with super fine sand and makes a noise in your mouth.
It was not sesame because grounded sesame is similar to finely ground wheat shells so it was the charcoal.
I did not finish all the cream because it was the typical fake hydrogenated cream.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Panna cotta:
This was lovely and milky, the sweetness was just right. The texture was like a light jelly.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++3 Sesame pudding:
The pudding had an extremely strong black sesame taste, similar to the black sesame filling found in sweet dumplings but much thicker and sweeter.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
