Mooncakes for all
Whether you are hankering for the familiar taste of traditional multi-egg yolk mooncakes to snowskin and alcohol-spiked flavours, the ‘something for everyone’ adage still holds true.
Peach Garden brings back its signature mooncakes—Premium Lotus Paste with Macadamia Nuts and Premium Lotus Paste with Four Yolks. The nuts provide a welcomed buttery crunch that contrasts well with the smooth lotus paste whilst the four yolks tucked snugly in velvety lotus paste is so popular that one week pre-orders are needed. New introductions are the Snow White Lotus Paste with Crunchy Black Pearl and Snow White Lotus Paste with Champagne Truffle—pristine white snow skins cover smooth lotus paste dotted with dark chocolate crisps and a champagne-filled chocolate truffle respectively.
From $45 – $52 for a box of 8.
Available from 9 August to 22 September 2010. Visit www.peachgarden.com.sg for a list of outlets.
