💸 Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake: $99 ($79.20 after discount)
...
Hope everyone had a great Mid-autumn festival celebration🥮! This year, we tried the Raffles Hotel Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake, which boasts a luxurious flavour combination - White lotus paste with a White Chocolate Champagne Truffle core. Not too sweet and the champagne flavour was pretty strong🥂. However, we were not really fans of the snow skin. It was nice and soft but had a taste that we felt did not go well with the filling. Our expectations were too high and unfortunately the mooncake didn't live up to it.🥺

Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, but it’s not yet late to try this from Raffles’ mooncake selection!

Was gifted with this lovely mooncake with a perfect taste contrast and texture from the double yolk, with macadamia nuts and white lotus

The mooncake matches with the timeless box design as well 💕

It’s the mooncake season again! Kickstarting this year’s with the well-beloved Raffles Hotel’s snow-skin mooncakes.

Alongside the signature Champagne Truffle Snow-Skin Mooncake, the hotel has introduced 2 new flavours - Sakura & Raspberry and Yam & Coconut Rum. Also returning this year are the flavours of Yuzu & Osmanthus and Baileys Chocolate. The design of the tin is gorgeous!

Mooncake season is back!

Other returning flavours this year are the Earl Grey Tea and Pearl ($86) - earl grey tea-infused milk chocolate ganache and dark chocolate coated puff cereal pearls, Yuzu and Osmanthus Truffle ($86), and the signature Champagne Truffle ($88) that I know are many of my friends’ favourite! It has white lotus seed paste and a core of white chocolate truffle spiked with champagne.

Reservations are open from now till 21 Aug on their website, or pop by their Raffles Mooncake Booth at North Bridge Road Atrium in Raffles Singapore from now till 10 Sept for walk-in purchases.

A mouth watering wagyu steak that is a must have here! While they have a whole lot of meat options to choose from, this wagyu steak comes with MBS 7, so the marbling gives this the perfect level of fattiness and it is so tender and flavorful.

Pro tip: order the al pastor corn tacos and separate the tortillas to make yourself two tacos. These remind me of street tacos in LA!

The champagne truffle snow-skin mooncake was first hand-crafted by the hotel’s chefs in the 1990s and features delicate truffles made with white chocolate shells filled with champagne-infused cream. Each truffle is sheathed with a premium white lotus seed paste, then blanketed in an ivory-toned glutinous rice skin 》$78/8pcs
