The champagne truffle and ganache is the round thing in the centre. This is good, but tastes quite sinful.
I forgot about the mid-autumn story, about how this festival came about.
Anyway, the important thing about this years mid-autumn festival is that my friend and I have ordered for a box of Raffles Hotel's famous snowkin mooncake for us to share.
We ordered their bestseller, the snowkin mooncake with champagne truffle & ganache.
Mooncake is common, even in the Philippines, what makes the mooncakes here in Singapore a bit more special is that they offer the traditional baked one, and also mooncakes made with snowskin. Basically, the latter is not baked at all. And it is kept in the freezer.
You eat it cold and straight from the freezer (and it won't come out frozen).
A box comes with 8 small pieces of mooncake, and is priced at SGD52. (It's more expensive than other flavours). There's 25% off for early corporate orders (as in orders in big big bulks), and 5% when you use Citibank credit card.
Price list:
Snowskin mooncake with:
Champagne truffle & ganache 52
Raffles cognac truffle 50
Mocha truffle 50
Dark Chocolate crunchy pearl 50
Apricot mooncake with poppin candy 50
How different is it from the baked ones?
- It's super soft and the texture is deifinitely much finer than the baked ones
- The flavours/variation is totally different from the bakes ones
- The snowskin makes a big difference. Snowkin is very tender and soft (it looks like mochi skin, but it's not sticky or stretchy at all)
It's an okay treat, definitely worth a try. But it's also good that this is a once-a-year thing. It's too rich to be eaten often.
