明星核桃糕

牙買加蘭姆酒的香氣—————美國核桃的口感

七〇年代，核桃相當少見，桂圓、葡萄乾成本也高，對當時普遍簡樸的台灣人仍算是奢侈品。有趣的是，當時女客間相傳「核桃」可治幼兒尿床，買的媽媽多半是為了給孩子吃的。明星蘭姆核桃糕，以精選桂圓、美國核桃、葡萄乾組合成獨特口味，改良傳統俄式點心。採純手工製作。咬下一口，撲鼻的桂圓香氣，搭配鋪滿的核桃，香氣、口感、幸福兼具。

Mazurka Cakes

Jamaican rum meets U.S. walnuts in an irresistible delicacy

Walnuts were a rarity in Taiwan in the 1970’s. Dried longan and raisins were also expensive and widely considered a luxury by the budget-conscious Taiwanese in those times. There was, however, an old wife’s tale at the time that walnuts could cure infants of bed wetting, so mothers would generally buy them for their children. The mazurka cakes at Café Astoria get their unique taste from a combination of selected dried longan, U.S. walnuts, and raisins that improved on the traditional Russian form of the dessert. These walnut-covered treats are hand made and have a flavorful longan aroma that is sure to bring a smile.
