“Tradition was very important to my late-grandfather. That’s why he named the shop ‘Big China’.” It’s also the reason why Mr Ham, 3rd generation owner of Tai Chong Kok 大中国, will never sell modern mooncake flavours like durian or chocolate. He stays true to the 87-year long method of baking - using whole duck yolks and olive kernels instead of melon seeds - which his customers, old and new, appreciate. While the landscape of Chinatown, where their main outlet has been since the beginning, is everchanging, he hopes to retain tradition and heritage the way they know how - through their pastries. Love mooncakes to the moon and back? It’s always a good time to grab a few along with other Chinese pastries like Tau Sar Piah and Wife Cake. » Subscribe to the Amex YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribeAMEX About: American Express is a global service company, providing customers with exceptional access to charge and credit cards, insights and experiences that enrich lives and build business success.
