From traditional mooncakes with golden-hued crusts to aromatic durian mooncakes, there are just so many varieties to choose from, you will be spoiled for choice! I personally will go for the snow skin ones, with the exception of the Walnut Moontart which I appended below.
I have actually tried doing the snow skin mooncakes myself, the costs of which is merely a fraction of what you will actually have to pay at the shop. But then it is so fun to shop around and see the interesting varieties available for your pick. Moreover, it is only once a year affair! Hehehe...excuses....
So let me show you some of my favourites:
Mini Walnut Moontart - this is essentially a hybrid of mooncake and tart – in a better way, of course – with white lotus paste and egg yolk within a crisp and fragrant walnut tart. I love it for the nutty bite, yummy!
Black Sesame with Melon Seeds Snow Skin Mooncakes from St Regis
Taking a naturally familiar taste and infusing it with their own unique spin, the chefs from Yan Ting have produced a mooncake that you simply must try. The use of black sesame as the main filling allows for a smoother texture and a rather graceful experience without compromising its naturally toasted taste. Taking things a notch up, melon seeds are infused into the mooncake allowing for an extra crunch. It costs S$70 for a box of eight.
Raffles Singapore celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival with its collection of exquisitely handcrafted mooncakes. My favourites are their best-selling Snow-Skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle & Ganache, Yummy!!!
So, hurry, go and try for yourself....well, I would recommend you to go to Takashimaya atrium where there will be rows and rows of mooncakes for your pick....Happy Chomping!!!!
