Mooncake fever heats up in this final week before the festival! So, do you prefer traditional flavours (e.g. lotus paste with yolk) or different ones?
.
This year, Mandarin Orchard unveils a new flavour - the elegantly gold-dusted Charcoal-baked Yuzu and Mixed Nuts with Black Sesame Paste! While my parents can be quite traditional (no snowskin for them 😜), I was surprised that they liked this flavour. The black sesame was rich, and nuts/ dried golden yuzu offered good contrasting colour and texture.
.
Btw, one of the allures of buying mooncakes is also the beautiful packaging. Just look at this modern turquoise tower box with pops of fuchsia! Spot the hotel's signature lattice pattern, accentuated by a motif of peony flowers in copper foil stamping.
