Bee Cheng Hiang Signature Mooncake

Today, I revisited the Food Place food court, located at Pavilion Mall. The food court is located beside the Oriental Kopi Restaurant. It is time to try another stall food.
This time, I ordered a Signature Mooncake from the Bee Cheng Hiang stall, which costs RM82.00 per piece.
The Bee Cheng Hiang Signature Bakkwa Mooncake is a distinctive Mid-Autumn Festival creation that combines the familiar structure of a traditional baked mooncake with Bee Cheng Hiang's signature barbecued bakkwa.
It has a deep golden-brown, relatively substantial crust, with the characteristic decorative mooncake pattern pressed across the top. Once cut open, the filling is noticeably chunky rather than being a completely smooth paste. You can see pieces of bakkwa, nuts and seeds distributed throughout the dark, rich filling.
The filling contains Gourmet Bakkwa together with assorted nuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds and pieces of orange peel. Bee Cheng Hiang specifically describes the product as its interpretation of the traditional ham-and-assorted-nuts mooncake, replacing the conventional ham element with its own bakkwa.
The interesting part is that this isn't simply a traditional mooncake flavour. It represents Bee Cheng Hiang adapting its own culinary heritage into another Chinese festive food. Mooncakes have traditionally included fillings such as lotus paste and mixed nuts. The five-kernel/mixed-nut style is particularly associated with chopped nuts and seeds, sometimes incorporating preserved ingredients such as candied melon or cured ham. Bee Cheng Hiang took that established savoury-sweet concept and substituted its own speciality: bakkwa. The result is effectively a meeting between two festive traditions—Mid-Autumn mooncakes and Singaporean/Southeast Asian bakkwa. That makes the product quite appropriate for Bee Cheng Hiang because bakkwa is the company's defining food heritage.
This results in a very Singaporean/Southeast Asian interpretation of the Chinese mooncake, rather than simply another variation of lotus paste.
