Experience full moon and full flavours this Mid-Autumn Festival | RWScoop

The Mid-Autumn festival is one of the rare occasions in a year where the full moon will be out in full glory. With that in mind, why not admire it together with your family and friends with a box of savoury mooncakes and a pot of fragrant tea?

This year, take it a step forward with something fresh and unique from Feng Shui Inn’s mooncake offerings. Instead of the usual snow skin mooncakes, Chinese Head Chef Li Kwok Kwong and his team of dedicated chefs have created a Teochew-inspired version — Flaky crust mooncakes with Organic Japanese Sweet Potato Paste or purple potato that adds much desired novelty into this year’s selection of Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies.

Flaky pastry with Organic Japanese Purple or Golden Sweet Potato Mooncake

Within the thin layered crumbling skin is a generous amount of organic Japanese Sweet Potato Paste, available in two flavours — purple or golden sweet potato. This version is a twist from the traditional teochew mooncakes that have purple yam as fillings. To create a healthier version for all, Chef Li decided to incorporate organic sweet potatoes from Japan for a modern twist — resulting in an extremely smooth and flavourful core.

White Butter skin with Pandan Sweet Corn Paste Mooncake

After devouring the flaky crust mooncakes, take a bite off the smooth and velvety soft White Butter Skin with Pandan Sweet Corn Paste. This gem is a perennial favourite and its perfect sweetness of the delicious pandan is sure to satisfy — definitely not too cloying.

Hawaiian Golden Pineapple Paste with Premium Grade AA Imperial Bird’s Nest Mooncake

For something fruitier and more premium, look no further. The Hawaiian Golden Pineapple Paste with Premium Grade AA Imperial Bird’s Nest is without a doubt one of the more luxurious options this year. Bird’s nest, also known as “Caviar of the East”, not only improves your immunity system, but also helps to beautify your complexion.

Traditional Baked Skin Mooncakes

The line-up of traditional baked skin mooncakes including White Lotus Paste mooncakes with single yolk or double yolk and Assorted Nuts ‘Ng Yan’ will also be available.

All mooncakes are available at Feng Shui Inn (Crockfords Tower, level G2) from 16 August to 19 September 2013.
