WHEN IT COMES TO THE ORIGINALITY OF MOONCAKES, THE “NGOW YING” FILLING STANDS OUT.
THIS TEOCHEW TERM, MEANING “FIVE GRAINS,” IS CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT AND AUTHENTIC MOONCAKE FILLING. IT’S SIGNIFICANT BOTH FOR ITS INGREDIENTS – HARVESTED ACCORDING TO ANCIENT SEASONAL TRADITIONS- AND ITS AUSPICIOUS MEANING. VARIOUS GRAINS AND BEANS, HARVESTED REGIONALLY DURING AUTUMN, ARE PRESERVED AND PROCESSED AS WINTER SUPPLIES. MOONCAKES ARE ONE DELICIOUS RESULT OF THIS PROCESS. IN OUR KITCHEN, WE USE WALNUTS, ALMONDS, CASHEWS, SESAME SEEDS, AND VARIOUS ORANGE PEELS.
WE ALSO INCLUDE PROCESSED MEATS TYPICALLY RESERVED FOR WINTER CONSUMPTION, SUCH AS YUNNAN HAM AND SALTED EGGS. THIS FILLING TRULY EMBODIES ABUNDANCE, MIRRORING THE BOUNTIFUL SEASONAL HARVEST. IT BOASTS A PERFECT TASTE, COMPLETE FLAVOR PROFILE, AND CRISPY TEXTURE. THE “NGOW YING” FILLING IS A TESTAMENT TO TRADITION – AN ORIGINAL FLAVOR THAT’S HARD TO REPLICATE OR REPLACE.
