Four exquisite tea-infused snow skin mooncakes to delight those taste buds: Palace, Secret, Desire and Immortal. You can expect a variety of flavours in the collection, such as apricot, passionfruit, chocolate, vanilla and lavender. However, ‘Immortal’ gets our vote for best of the lot – a smooth pastel pink snow skin mooncake filled with rice pudding and gingerbread mousse infused with White Immortal Tea, pistachio popped rice and a tangy heart of raspberry and chocolate. One word: heavenly. Price: $48 for a box of four mooncakes; $15 for one mooncake Tel.

If you’re a fan of bak kwa, be prepared to fall in love with Marriott Hotel’s chicken bak kwa mooncake.
