Collaboration is a big thing when it comes to desserts, and that is exactly what the bars and restaurants in Regent Hotel did to produce exquisite mooncake flavors.

This list of eight unique products includes truffle carbonara, yuzu strawberry cheesecake, osmanthus tea and purple cauliflower. If you prefer traditional flavors, don’t worry as the likes of white lotus paste with double yolk and pork floss with assorted nuts are also available.

If you are a big fan of Janice Wong’s desserts, then chances are you will absolutely love her mooncake line as well. Sold in sets of nine and come in a beautiful box with partitions, these mooncakes have Japan-inspired flavors, taken from Janice’s love of the country and its culture. Flavors include roasted Japanese green tea from Kyoto, sweet potato from Tokushima, chestnut from Kumamoto, red bean from Mie and Aichii, Japanese green tea from Shizuoka, and Asian plum from Wakayama.

Also unique to Janice’s creations is its consistency, which resembles more of a mochi rather than the traditionally made snow skin mooncakes.

Grand Hyatt Singapore is bringing back two of last year’s bestsellers to complement their creations this year. The black sesame and walnut truffle and acai berry truffle will be available again, together with the brown sugar milk tea truffle and matcha with red bean truffle.

The brown sugar milk tea truffle is the hotel’s nod to the milk tea craze, which is a combination of Assam tea, gula melaka, and milk. The matcha with red bean truffle, meanwhile, highlights the popular flavors of Japanese desserts.

 

 

Awfully Chocolate

For chocolate lovers, head to Awfully Chocolate for their chocolate-flavored mooncakes. Make sure to have a bite of the delicious Chocolate Lotus Paste with Salted Egg Yolk. It is wrapped in Shanghai pastry, so you are guaranteed that it is made of premium ingredients as compared to the standard mooncake.

The shop’s Mid Autumn Festival collection comes in sophisticated wooden chests that beat any box or packaging.
