After all that walking and shopping, fuel up at the TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair at Central Court (Level 1) featuring more than 40 hotels, restaurants and bakeries. Apart from sampling the traditional lotus paste mooncakes, there are also new and unique flavours, never seen before.
If you’re looking to open a world of new mooncake flavours to your aunties and uncles, Grand Hyatt Singapore’s mooncakes will do the trick. The Teh Tarik and Chocolate Truffle mooncake is an ode to the local flavours of our beloved kopitiam tehs with a twist. This mooncake has a pungent aroma of brewed tea leaves, coupled with the rich chocolatey ganache center – nothing short of sinful.
Made for the ‘gram, the purple clad Acai Berry Truffle Snowskin Mooncake strikes the right balance between sweetness of the Cassis liquor and tart Acai berries.
Mix and match a box of 8 from their 9 snowskin flavour selections ($78).
Check out our full review of Grand Hyatt Singapore mooncakes here.
For the millennials looking to one-up their mooncake game, Kele combines traditional snowskin mooncakes with hipster-esque flavours. Take, for example, the Avocado Gula Melaka with Roasted Macadamia Nuts. This green creamy combination tastes so decadent you’ll forget it’s made with fruit.
Want something with a little kick? Try their Pina Colada Snowskin with its bright pineapple flavour, coconut notes, and just a little sneaky hint of that boozy aftertaste.
Both flavours going at $62 for a box of 4. Order before 14 Sep and get them at 20% off.
If you’re like me and prefer something light from the usual jelak-ness of the standard lotus paste, then you’ll definitely have to give Peach Garden a shot.
The Mini Snowskin White Lotus Paste with Cranberry and Roselle has a bright and sweet flavour profile that’ll have you scoffing down these gems in no time at all. Mix and match their mini mooncake series in a box of 8 ($64.20).
If you’re looking to impress your parents-in-law, gift them a box of Premium Black Dates with Melon Paste and Longan Infused with Red Tea Paste ($16.21 per piece, $64.84 for a box of 4).
The Melon paste has a unique mellow profile, while the Longan red tea paste is reminiscent of a bowl of Longan and Snow Fungus dessert you’d commonly get at a Chinese restaurant.
Tip: Dabao a mooncake and have a moon gazing session with good company at VivoCity’s Sky Park at Level 3 for the extra feels.
