Mooncake Festival



+0@Junction8 ™


Mooncake festival is around the corner. Yesterday, I went to Junction 8, Bishan to have my lunch. There is a Mid-Autumn Delights, setup by most of the well known hotels and bakeries, selling their products.







Talking about mooncake, I have bought two boxes from Raffles Hotel during their roadshow at our BHQ canteen. 25% off for employees.

I chose 1 box of traditional bake mooncake and another is their best seller of the snow-skin mooncake.

This is the most expensive mooncakes I ever bought. Both bought at SGD39 after discount.




This is the traditional bake: Lotus paste with 2 egg yolks.



And this is the snow-skin with champagne truffle and ganache.



Here is their box of year 2009. It comes along with a nice bag for each and every box purchased.



And here is their mooncakes selling price.





Back to the Mid-Autumn Delight at Junction 8. I walked booth by booth checking out on their creativity of the gift box and their new flavor for the year. Wanted to buy one box, but very hard to choose, cause there are too many varieties.
Which shall I go for? Since it's a gift to my auntie, I will choose for a nice box after the mooncake which will always comes first.


Tried a few, before I decided to buy from Shangri-La Hotel. Chosen their Shang's Palace Four Treasures, which contained 4 different flavors.
Plain White Lotus Seed Paste
White Lotus Seed Paste with Single Yolk
Mixed Berry Paste
Mixed Nuts with Chinese Ham
