Available now until 21 September, I received a set of four mooncakes attractively packed in a specially designed Mid-Autumn Festival gift box: a sturdy magnetic flap carryall adorned with colourful mosaic and rabbit motifs.
Nestled within were four smaller
boxes replicating the same design. The Mini Snow Skin with Cheese and Cashew
Nuts piqued our interest thanks to its mildly savoury accent amidst the anticipated
sweetness.

| Mini Snow Skin with Red Bean Paste & Walnuts |
Purists and traditionalists at heart may prefer the Mini Snow Skin Red Bean Paste with Walnuts. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel with such a classic, crowd-pleasing flavour.

| Baked Mooncake with White Lotus Paste & Single Egg Yolk |
Likewise, the Baked White Lotus Paste with Single Egg Yolk and Pandan Paste with Melon Seeds Mooncake belong to this ‘old is gold’ school of thought. The only concession made is possibly the reduction in the amount of sugar, as the mooncakes’ subtle sweetness was noticeable on the palate.

We also like the liberal
sprinkling of melon seeds embedded within the Pandan Paste Mooncake. It was
reminiscent of the mooncakes of yore when fanciful fillings were unheard of
then.
