Timeless traditions of Mid-Autumn Festival

RAFFLES HOTEL SINGAPORE BRINGS THE magic of moonlight to life this Mid-Autumn Festival with its much-anticipated selection of baked and snowskin confections crafted by its team of master chefs.

These intricate creations are housed in whimsical boxes covered in a beautiful hand-painted floral tapestry, depicting ethereal blooms from lotus to moonflowers. They make ideal gifts for loved ones and business associates but you’ll want them for yourself too, to repurpose as pretty storage containers for precious knick knacks long after the pastries have been enjoyed.

Snowy Luxury

Treat yourself to three brand new snowskin creations in an inspiring harmony of flavours that will please all tastes. 

Zesty Japanese citrus stars in the summery Sudachi & Blueberry with Gin Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$97 nett), which bursts with a refreshing fruitiness complemented with a dash of gin. 

For a rich creamy depth, indulge in the Chestnut & Tahitian Vanilla with Rum Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$97 nett), the distinctive caramel tones of rum infusing luscious milk chocolate ganache. A subtle hint of ginger lends a sweet and spicy note. 

Connoisseurs will certainly appreciate the limited edition Guojiao 1573 Baijiu Black Sesame Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$108 nett). The elegantly aged Baijiu has been exclusively fermented in China’s National Treasures Cellar, which was built in 1573. Here, the velvety and floral Guojiao 1573 Classic Baijiu meets rich chocolate, enveloped in earthy black sesame for a sensuous treat.

Timeless Signatures

Not a Mid-Autumn Festival goes by without aficionados lusting after the legendary Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$99 nett), featuring luscious white chocolate truffle perfumed with champagne and encased in silky-smooth white lotus paste. This much-loved classic becomes extra special when paired with a glass of Raffles’ exclusive Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve Champagne.

Not to be missed are two perennial favourites that make a welcome return. Sakura & Raspberry Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$97 nett) reimagines the Sakura Sling cocktail specially crafted for the Mid-Autumn Season at Long Bar, featuring juicy raspberries and lightly sweet cherry blossoms.

In turn, perk up the senses with the zingy citrus flavour of yuzu, balanced with a fragrant infusion of osmanthus tea leaves in the refreshing Yuzu & Osmanthus Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (S$97 nett). For the ultimate enjoyment, savour them with a cup of tea from Raffles’ signature tea range specially curated to pair with the entire collection of mooncakes.
