Mid-Autumn 2016 at InterContinental Singapore
It's that time of the year again where the tempting trio of elaborate packaging, so-bad-but-so-good salted egg yolks and dazzling shades of snowskin come out to play.
Probably the earliest in Singapore to start retailing their mooncakes—they started 22 June 2016; early bird savings of 35% for orders before 31 July, and 20% off between 1 August to 15 September 2016—InterContinental Singapore's creations are always one to look out for.
They've also just undergone a multi-million dollar renovation, with this Mid-Autumn’s intricate jewellery box-style, lattice box paying a nod to their newly refurbished Lobby Lounge.
This year, look forward a brand new series of fresh, spring-summery flavours such as Yuzu Citrus or Sea Salt Caramel—enjoyed with white lotus paste and truffle centres of white chocolate and chocolate respectively—or stray from the norm with their Sakura Peach with Pistachio and the creamy Avocado, punctuated with crunchy chocolate pearls ($66, 4pcs).
If you love durian, their Snowskin ‘Mao Shan Wang’ Durian Mooncake ($68, 4pcs), made from pure Mao Shan Wang durian, is a must-order. And that shimmery coat of edible gold dust is a nice plus.
For the traditionalists, go straight for their signature, winning Baked Maple Osmanthus-Glazed Shanghai Mooncake with Single Yolk ($64, 4pcs)—the buttery, maple-glazed crust with floral hints of osmanthus, breaks to a smooth lotus filling and single yolk—or classics like Baked Mooncake with Double Yolks and White Lotus Paste ($68, 4pcs) and Baked Mooncake with Macadamia Nuts and Low Sugar White Lotus Paste ($64, 4pcs).
