YUM! pleasant surprise. I usually bake my own. Not this year. Shell - cake shell is just right! Right thickness. Not too thick/thin. Moist but not crumbly Sweetness - just right...for the "asian" pallette - not too sweet. Filling - lotus with egg yolk. Tender, smooth, egg yolk is moist, not "sandy" or crumbly. Would order again.
