Wish you and your family a wonderful Moon Festival! Beautiful mooncakes for you... ooh... for your eyes only!!
well-known for their attention to aesthetics, the Japanese have created some very beautiful mooncakes. These mooncakes from Japanese confectionery, minamoto kitchoan, are handmade with red or white bean paste. aren't they the sweetest?
Not to be outdone, local baker, bossacafez, has come out with a line of very colorful mooncakes, using unique recipes. i especially like the candy-colored ones on the left that are made with aerated mineral water. the green ones are pandan custard lotus snow-skin mooncakes.
More sweetness! milky white snow-skin mooncakes filled with a mixture of cherries, desiccated and moist flaky coconut. so pretty!what's more, she has even made colorful apple-shaped mooncakes, complete with green leaves!
Mooncake cupcakes! east meets west! the fusion of these two types of pastries is concocted by yet another talented baker
Her mooncake cupcakes have date-pineapple cream cheese frosting and a red bean paste filling.
I am a total sucker for all things miniature, and these wee little mooncakes are just too darn cute!
ta-da! i must say, these mooncakes don't look very tasty or even edible, do they? i wouldn't feel like biting into one. but they sure are among the most unusual mooncakes i have seen!Each mooncake is shaped like an actual nokia l'amour phone, complete with the nokia brand name (of course) and pretty florals!
Starbucks has their own mooncake too. I love the way the logo fits perfectly onto the face of the mooncake. come to think of it, wouldn't coffee go well with mooncake? I'm so craving for a cup of joe right now!
For those of you who aren't huge fans of the traditional mooncake, opt for a jelly one! it's purple too! pretty, pretty. it even has an egg yolk at its center.
The Raffles Hotel mooncakes are easily the most sinful and best-tasting mooncakes i've ever had! they sell out really quickly too! These mooncakes come in boxes of 8. at more than $5 apiece, they certainly don't come cheap. (but they are worth every penny because they're so good!)
The white snow-skin exterior looks innocently plain, but obviously, the best part of the mooncake lies at its chocolate center…
The champagne truffle! once you bite into the white chocolate shell, the inside is the soft and delicious ganache that fills your mouth. ahhh… pure bliss! it's very, very satisfying too so eating just one at a time is already enough!
If this isn't the most delectable mooncake dessert, i don't know what is. what makes it even more sought after is that you can only have it just once in a year!
And that's for this year. Every year, Raffles Hotel sells a different flavor of mooncakes, packed in a different-colored tin box. This year, it's the baby blue one. I'm looking forward to their next year's productionalready!
