Piglet-in-a-basket

Some call it piglet-in-a-basket, some call it piglet bisuit. But its actually called "jui zai beng" (豬仔餅) in Cantonese. So much attention is given to mooncakes, but this poor piglet is left more and more neglected over the years... Mooncakes contains so much calories ~ 1000Kcal for one piece of Traditional Mooncake with lotus paste, so why not celebrate with this sweet biscuit!? :) and it cost only $1.00 at Bee Cheng Hiang!

The pastry is atually similar to that of the tradtional cantonese mooncake, minus away the lotus paste. But recently, new piglets are out in the market which contains lotus paste or even chocolate! Theres also Merlions now, fish... wonder if theres Disney Cartoon Characters...

If you haven't had yours today, go get it now! relieve those childhood days!
