5. Durian Mooncake
Fancy for 100% pure Mao Shan Wang durian puree wrapped in a mochi-alike chewy snow skin. The delicate soft and chewy blue-white marbled skin reflecting the blue-white porcelain wares from ancient times that were seen as extravagance holdings in the Tang Dynasty. Because of its mochi-like texture, my family loves it. Also, there is no added sugar, cream and preservatives added.

Before you start to savour the mini mao shan wang (msw) snow skin mooncakes, the box breathes amazing vibrant colours with bird and peony motifs that brighten your day! We love it that each piece is separately packed to preserve its freshness, taste and aroma. The taste is so good that we refused to slice it and ate it at one go. Besides the MSW mooncakes, you can also expect traditional bakes from Old Seng Choong.

6. Bird’s Nest Mooncake
We can’t decide which snow skin mooncake goes first. Each and every flavour is enticing and tasty. Ladies who love bird nests, can’t miss out the exquisite Bird’s Nest with Custard mooncake. Think of the chunk of bird’s nest core cushioned with velvety custard. Debuting for the first time will be the elegant Litchi with Raspberry and Rose. Indulge into raspberry-rose gelée masked in vanilla-litchi pastry cream. And screaming all out when I spot Mao Shan Wang Durian snow skin mooncake. The Hazelnut Royaltine Chocolate is a crowd favourite among the kids filled with the crunchy Jivara Chocolate Praline Base.
