Mandarin Orchard Singapore Mooncakes – What are the new flavours in 2016?

Pamper yourselves with Mandarin Orchard Singapore’s Mid-Autumn sweet treats that will tickle your tastebuds. With the popularity of salted egg yolk at an all-time high, the hotel is introducing a new snow skin flavour – Mini Snow Skin Salted Egg Custard with Manuka Honey Corn Mooncake ($65 / box of 8). Encased in fluffy snow skin, the subtle taste of the salted egg custard is cut off by a balanced sweetness from the corn and Manuka honey.

2015’s creation of the Mini Snow Skin Red Wine Cranberry Paste and Yuzu Lemongrass Mooncake ($65 / box of 8) is making a return due to popular demand, together with all-time signature favourite, Mini Snow Skin Lychee Martini and White Chocolate Mooncake ($65 / box of 8). Enjoy the refreshing yuzu lemongrass twist in the former while the latter contains smooth, creamy filling, with a hint of Martini, encased in decadent white chocolate, all enveloped in a fluffy white snow skin.

Mandarin Orchard has maintained their recipe for the ever popular Baked Mooncake with Single/Double Yolk and White Lotus Paste. Healthier versions include a lower sugar variety such as the Baked Mooncake with Macadamia Nuts and Low Sugar White Lotus Paste ($70 / box of 4). On the other side of the health scale lies the sinful Baked Mooncake with Mixed Nuts and Jamón Ibérico ($75 / box of 4), upping the traditional recipe with premium Spanish ham. Alternatively, the Baked Mooncake with Azuki Red Bean Paste and Pine Nuts ($70 / box of 4) will satisfy even the fussiest vegetarian.

Mandarin Orchard’s annual treats come in an elegant red custom-designed box of four for baked mooncakes and box of eight for snow skin mooncakes, with baby blue individual boxes encasing each morsels of delight.
