Switch up your Mid-Autumn Festival 2022 celebrations with savoury and Momoyama skin mooncakes by Yan’s Dining

Most of us associate traditional baked mooncakes as palm-sized treats with a thin pastry crust and sweet rich filling such as lotus bean paste. The Shanghainese variety is a little different, characterised by its buttery shortcrust pastry on the outside. It also comes in savoury versions which are less commonly found here. 

If you are looking for the latter, you’re in luck, because Yan’s Dining is offering not one but three types of Traditional Shanghai Savoury Mooncakes: Fresh Pork, Mala Lobster and Abalone Crabmeat. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted by the fine-dining restaurant’s culinary team.  

The Shanghai Savoury Fresh Pork Mooncake has rich ground pork filling with aromatic seasoning; Mala Lobster is stuffed with mala crayfish and ground pork filling; and the Abalone Crabmeat is a fragrant combination of seafood. All are encrusted in crisp flaky pastry. 

Still like your mooncakes sweet? Yan’s Dining goes one step further. It presents Momoyama Skin Mooncakes (sometimes known as Japanese mooncakes) that contain less sugar and fat than traditional ones. Momoyama skin is made of white bean paste egg yolk butter and milk. 

There are eight flavours – Sea Salt Rose and Lychee ; Oatmeal Oolong Milk Tea; Uji Matcha; Durian; Soy Cheese; Salted Egg Custard; Burgundy Raspberry; and Charcoal Grilled Sweet Potato.
