September 13, 2017

It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival again, the 15th day of the eight month on the lunar calendar (which falls on October 4 this year) when the moon is full. The traditional way to celebrate this festival is by indulging in mooncakes. Every year, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to the mooncake flavours available. Whether you go for the classic baked mooncakes or have a more adventurous taste buds to try the new snow skin flavours, here are some of the best mooncake recommendations for your consideration (according to alphabetical order).

Baker’s Well

Celebrating the yearly mid-autumn tradition of joyous reunions, local artisan bakery Baker’s Well presents an array of mooncakes, from baked classics to novelty mini snow skin masterpieces, to please all palates.

Indulge in the adoring mini snow skin mooncakes ($66) in tempting colours that represents 6 different flavours – Signature Champagne Truffle, Yuzu Truffle, Earl Grey Lavender (NEW!), Rum & Raisin, Matcha Truffle and Salted Black Sesame Truffle. The exquisitely handcrafted Champagne Truffle is delicately swathed in creamy white lotus paste and enfolded in tender snow-skin. The new Earl Grey Lavender mooncake is enough to intrigue without overwhelming the senses.

Baker’s Well has also assembled a collection of traditional baked skin mooncakes with less sugar. We like the popular Pure White Lotus with Double Egg Yolk and Roasted Melon Seeds ($41.60/2pcs, $68/4pcs). The salty yolk and nutty aroma of melon seeds balances out the subtly sweet notes of the lotus, culminating in a well-rounded flavour. There are other classics such as Pure White Lotus with Macadamia Nuts ($39.60/2pcs, $66/4pcs), Sugar Free Pure White Lotus with Roasted Melon Seeds ($42/2pcs, $70/4pcs) and Traditional Mixed Nuts ($43.60/2pcs, $72/4pcs) to satisfy those who truly recognize the authentic taste.

Cat & the Fiddle

Singapore’s premium cheesecake brand, Cat & the Fiddle, has launched its first cheesecake mooncake series for this Mid-Autumn Festival. Themed “The Cow Jumped Over the Moon-cake”, this series celebrates the whimsical side of the brand, and each mooncake is inspired by “Hey Diddle Diddle”, the same nursery rhyme that sparked the idea of Cat & the Fiddle.

Fans of cheesecakes can indulge in 5 flavours of cheesecake snowskin mooncakes – blueberry, strawberry, cookies and cream, chocolate, and durian. “The Cow Jumped Over the Moon-cake” series features the first four flavours, and comes in a box of eight pieces with two of each flavour ($68.80). The strawberry flavour and chocolate flavour contain alcohol. The former boasts a sweet and tart combination of cream cheese and lotus paste cradling a centre of white chocolate martini ganache with refreshing mint leaves. The latter, on the other hand, is rich and luscious. The heart of dark chocolate ganache is delightfully spiked with orange vodka.

Durian lovers, it’s a great opportunity to treat yourselves to the King of the Moon ($68.80 / 8 pieces). Looking regal in charcoal snowskin dusted with gold powder, the velvety lotus paste filling is enriched with real Mao Shan Wang durian pulp surrounding tangy cream cheese in a white chocolate shell.

Embrace the joyous reunions of the Mid-Autumn Festival with exquisite handcrafted mooncakes from Goodwood Park Hotel. They have introduced three new unique snowskin flavours that will make this season a memorable one.

The new Prickly Pear with Bergamot Snowskin Mooncake ($52 for 4 pieces) is made with the fruit of the cactus plant – also known as prickly pear.

Long Jiang Chinos

Keeping to tradition, Long Jiang Chinos’s teochew ‘orh-nee’ mooncake has come a long way since its humble beginning in 1988. Handcrafted with premium yam filling, the pastry crust is light and flaky. Pick from the original yam paste mooncake or single yolk yam paste mooncake, each bite reminiscent of childhood. Prices start from $60 for a box of 4.

There are also low sugar baked mooncakes available. The latest flavour include single yolk caramel lotus paste with macadamia nuts and black sesame paste with melon seed. The rich caramel combines perfectly with the textural contrast from the nuts. My favourite is the single yolk pandan lotus paste mooncake, featuring the aromatic blend of pandan-infused lotus paste and salted egg yolk, wrapped within golden brown pastry. Of course, there are other signature and iconic baked mooncakes which include the assorted nuts, single yolk white lotus paste mooncake and double yolk white lotus paste mooncake.

Get their mooncakes either from Long Jiang Chinos (address below) or Jalan Petaling Famous Malaysian Street Food (MyVillage #02-01/02). You can also purchase from their booth at Takashimaya Shopping Centre, Vivo City, NEX, Junction 8, Tampines Mall and Lot One Shoppers’ Mall.

The Ritz- Carlton, Millenia Singapore

The Ritz- Carlton, Millenia Singapore presents a contemporary selection of artisan snowskin mooncakes, alongside an exquisite range of traditional baked mooncakes. We were especially impressed with the new White Lotus Seed Paste with Five Grains mooncake ($72/4 pcs). Not only does the addition of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, oats, and sesame seeds elevate the texture of the lotus paste filling, it also makes this baked mooncake a healthier and nuttier option.

Two new flavours are added to their signature Assorted Mini Snowskin Martini mooncakes this year – the mangotini and orangetini flavours will appeal to those who fancy a taste of summer. Popular favourites such as the lycheetini and espressotini remain available, and are worth the extra calories. We also love that there are chocolate truffles encased within each martini flavoured mooncake and that they are not cloyingly sweet.

For a limited time only, enjoy 25% off baked mooncakes and 15% off the Mini Custard Mini Custard Lava with Vanilla and Snowskin mooncakes by The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore when you purchase online at www.rcmooncake.com.sg and quote “MTC2017” upon check out.
