Featuring old time favourites and new flavours handmade individually, we were invited to preview carefully handcrafted mooncakes by master dim sum chef Lo Tian Sion. The season’s ten exquisite mooncake selections are priced at RM26 nett per piece onwards for classic baked skin and RM28 nett per piece onwards for snowskin mooncakes.

Out of the ten exquisite mooncake selections, our favourite goes to the star of the snow skin mooncake, the red prawn durian mooncake that is back by popular demand.

Red Prawn Durian Mooncake Tao Chinese Cuisine

The red prawn durian mooncake is a rich blend of “red prawn” durian with egg cream, encased within a sweet, soft enfold.

The complexity of the red prawn durian character that is bitter and sweet is highly visible with each bite of this mooncake. Simply the BEST!

Roselle Snowskin with Tangerine Lotus Cheese Paste came in a close second.

Aesthetically pleasing, it is equally appeasing to the taste buds with its unique savour unifying the slight sour with a hint of savoury of cheese paste and oriental hints of tangerine skin; all wrapped within a fine roselle skin.

Coming in third on our favourite list is the Coconut Milk Snowskin with “Teow Chew” Yam Shrimp and Single Egg Yolk.

Further enriching the savours of tropical fruits, Chef Lo introduces the coconut milk snowskin with “teow chew” yam shrimp and single egg yolk. A bite of this reminds me of Orh Kueh (Yam Cake) due to the presence of savoury dried shrimp while the fragrant coconut milk skin is alike our famous local dessert ‘bubur chacha’.

Shanghai Mooncake with single egg yolk

A new addition to this year’s baked skin series is the Shanghai mooncake with single egg yolk; a sumptuous bite of buttery fragrance, luscious and unlike any other.

雪桃红翡翠咸豆蓉月饼 | RM30 per piece

A returning flavour yet something new to me is this Scarlet Baked Snowskin; a refinery of sweet snow skin infused with pandan and the blend of salted bean paste and beetroot. It is my first time encounter baked snowskin mooncake.

We were even given the priceless opportunity to have a hands-on session on trying to make this Scarlet Baked Snowskin mooncake.

A classic take on the snowskin mooncake is this pandan paste with single egg yolk mooncake, infusing the fragrance of pandan intermingled into the bite of single egg yolk.

桃花秋月 | RM168 nett per box

A great gift for friends and family, the vibrantly designed mooncake box ensemble draws its inspiration from the nostalgic nature of the moon; the round form symbolic of a family-get-together and the significance of family union to the Chinese. Adorned upon the vibrant box are peony flower motives, a representation of spring, beauty, richness and honour; a perfect cultural element to heighten every Mid-Autumn festival celebration.

    I think you have a typo in your title Excuisite. All these mooncakes are very nice but too expensive for me. Even if let me eat free for a meal, I also have to control my sugar intake and only eat a bit. So sad. Sob Sob Sob! Thanks for sharing the info though.

    Roselle snowskin is so beautiful.

    So fast it is time to eat mooncakes. I do see some mooncakes on sales now.

    What??? It is not even the 7th Month yet, all the hantus will come out. But of course, the early bird catches the worm – this will give you ample time to send to me – you have my mailing address? I like the traditional skin, lotus paste and one or two yolks is secondary, all I like. Hehehehehe!!!!!
