ToothySeduction has been posting so much on Mooncake this special year, obviously for a special reason. MoonCakes this year are definitely coming in much more variety ever.

As usual, this year, Takashimaya will be holding its Mid-Autumn Festival which will start off with a bang from 17th Sep until 4th Oct. You will be able to find, eat, sample all sorts of different types of mooncake.

Located at Takashimaya Square B2. Lots of hotels, restaurants, confectionaries and even bakeries will be setting up booths and be sure that you are in for a mooncake feast. Skip your meals and hop down to Takashimaya come 17 Sep onwards!

Bon Appetit,

The mooncake festival is nearing and all the best mooncakes in town are vying for top spot! Only YOU can decide which is the best! I received this email which have a link to this page featuring mooncakes from quite a number of places in Singapore!

Below is an abstract of the page:

Mooncakes come in all shapes, sizes, flavours and colours these days as hotels and restaurants scramble to constantly reinvent themselves. That is a good thing for consumers as there is definitely something for everyone. This week, we bring you our top picks of some of the best mooncakes this season.

Goodwood Park Hotel
22 Scotts Road, Singapore 228221, 67301867

Goodwood Park Hotel’s new tangy Soursop Snowskin Mooncake (SG$40 for 4 pieces) is filled with a velvety smooth pulp from fresh soursops. Perfect if you are a fan of fruit inspired mooncakes. Mango with Pomelo in Snowskin Mooncake (SG$40 for 4 pieces) was a hot favorite from last year and is also back on the menu this year. It is no surprise that Goodwood Park’s D24 Durian Paste in Snowskin Mooncake (SG$48 for 4 pieces) is one of the more popular choices at Goodwood Park Hotel. The hotel has made a name for itself for its Durian creations over the years. Remember to drink lots of water with this one!

Hilton Singapore
581 Orchard Road, 67303392

Hilton’s Hilton’s signature cheese mooncakes (SG$38 for a box of 6) now come in minis and you can enjoy more variety in a box. A few new flavours are available this year, including the Mango and Pecan, which comes complete with juicy bits of mango flesh which goes very well with the smooth cheesecake based filling.

Look out for the Peanut Caramel which is just awesome. Simple and well-balanced, this one in particular will go down well with kids and has delightful chunks of peanuts and walnut in the filling.

Intercontinental Singapore – Man Fu Yuan
80 Middle Road, 68251062

Intercontinental’s Signature Japanese Sweet Potato Flake Pastry Mooncake with Single Yolk (SG$50.80 for a box of 4) is a Japanese take on the traditional yam paste mooncake. It is fried to perfection and is more flavourful than the traditional yam paste ones.

Also try out the Mini Snowskin Mooncake filled with Avocado and Mango Mousse ( SG$42.80 for a box of 8 ) . Fresh mangoes are blended with avocado for a smooth and uniquely rich taste and comes complete with dark chocolate pearls.

Swissotel – Szechuan Court
80 Bras Basah Road, 6338 8785

Mini Snow-Skin Feulletine-Hazelnut with Wafer Crunch Nuts ( $45 for a box of 8 ) makes its debut this Mid-Autumn with its silky smooth hazelnut filling. A good departure from the usual lotus paste filling. Inside, instead of a yolk, lies a Swiss chocolate sprinkled with wafer crunch nuts, and wrapped by a creamy chocolate shell.

Swissotel’s other bestselling mini snowskin mooncakes include Champagne Truffle & Chocolate Ganache, Baileys Chocolate and Rum & Raisin Chocolate Truffle ( $45 for a box of 8 ). Like the Mini Snow-Skin Feulletine-Hazelnut with Wafer Crunch Nuts mentioned earlier, they too have crunchy chocolate shell “yolks” filled with goodies. The chefs have done a great job blending western flavours into traditional Chinese delicacies and they are all easy favorites among the young and old.
