This year, we round up some mooncake flavours we would love for you to try! MARINA MANDARIN If you’re wondering where Peach Blossom’s Dim Sum Chef Kerene Cheng got his inspiration for his mooncake creations, it’s life’s ups and downs. Explains Chef Kerene, “I want to create a dessert that encapsulates the emotions that we go through in life, and translate it into pastry that is quintessentially Chinese-oriented.” Mini Heavenly Treasures (snowskin) This is a collection of flavours which depicts the story of life (sweet, sour, bitter, spicy). These mooncakes are available in a luxurious gold lacquer box made fancier with floating crystals. Flavours available are Mini Semi-dried Hibiscus with White Lotus Paste Snowskin Mooncake (sour), Mini Osthmanthus with White Lotus Paste Snowskin Mooncake (sweet), Mini Bitter Gourd & Cashew Nuts with White Lotus Paste Snowskin Mooncake (bitter), Mini Spicy Chocolate with White Lotus Paste Snowskin Mooncake (spicy), Mini Organic Oats, Premium Nuts and Dried Fruits Baked Mooncake (healthy).
