It’s that time of the year again: mooncake season! Get your hands on these intricately decorated snowskin mooncakes from InterContinental Singapore that come in unique garden-themed flavours.
With Mid-Autumn Festival quickly approaching, it’s time to buy mooncakes again! Traditionally stuffed with delicious creamy lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk, it’s no wonder these sweet and savoury pastries are such a hit year after year. What we look forward to the most, however, are restaurants and hotels improving these treats with their own creative spin. If you’re looking for a rendition that’s not only tasty but also gorgeous, our vote goes to these delicate floral-themed snowskin mooncakes from InterContinental Singapore’s Man Fu Yuan.
Not only is each of these mooncakes from the InterContinental Singapore’s Man Fu Yuan restaurant’s Garden Collection carefully carved with an exquisite rose motif and tinted in irresistible pastel hues, they also come in four botanical-inspired flavours. Slice into the unique roselle and red date snowskin mooncake and you will taste light smoky notes from roselle that go perfectly with the rich red date filling – a match made in heaven! Some of our favourite flavours come together in this next one: rosemary, lavender, almond and green tea. Instead of the typical lotus seed paste, this snowskin mooncake is filled with an unusual rosemary-infused green tea paste and bits of almond.
For something with a nutty twist, the rose and pistachio flavour takes the cake. Bite into a snowskin mooncake that’s full of smooth rose-flavoured white lotus paste with sprinkles of chopped pistachios. The pandan and macadamia mooncake also deserves a mention – this mooncake has a Singapore spin and is packed with a velvety pandan, white lotus paste and macadamia nuts.
Fret not if you also want to stock up on traditional baked mooncakes – Man Fu Yuan has plenty of options. Pick up the white or red lotus seed paste mooncakes that come with either single or double salted egg yolks. For a crunchy option, the assorted nuts baked mooncakes are chock-full of nuts. Even those watching their weight can join in on the Mid-Autumn feast: just opt for the healthier but equally delectable low-sugar white lotus paste with macadamia nuts baked mooncakes instead.
