I'm pleasantly surprised by Man Fu Yuan's mooncake offerings this year, especially with their Green Tea Paste with Dragonball Jasmine snowskin mooncake.Embodying the true essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival is when you have a mooncake boasting of a paste that glistens with a silky emerald shade bearing semblance to green jade, and subtly enveloped by a layer of smooth ivory skin that echoes the luminescence of white jade.

Embodying the true essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival is when you have a mooncake boasting of a paste that glistens with a silky emerald shade bearing semblance to green jade, and subtly enveloped by a layer of smooth ivory skin that echoes the luminescence of white jade. The delicate fragrance of Jasmine enthralls the palate, entrancing it with a bashful demeanour akin to a maiden's first expressions of romance - perhaps an allegory to the awestruck beauty of Chang'e herself?
The other flavours – Pulot Hitam, White Lotus Seed Paste and Sesame Paste, albeit exhibiting unique tastes and textures in their own rights, paled in comparison to their sister mooncake. Nevertheless, the overall quality is commendable with the ultra thin snowskin encapsulating the rich and smooth paste.
If you're still undecided on which mooncakes to "invest" your calories in this Mid-Autumn Festival, do seriously consider Man Fu Yuan's snowskin combo that promises a satisfying experience with aftertaste that lingers long after the ethereal delicacy is ingested, beckoning one to relish in its sweet memory...
