Assorted Snowskin mooncakes from Swissótel The Stamford

Mooncakes are "evil"! close to 1000kcal packed into that small little circular dough. have 2, and that's enough to sustain your energy requirement for the whole day. take 3, and the excess 1000kcal gets stored into that jelly belly of yours! =O (jus exaggerating, but its somewhere along this line)

This is a gift from meine freundin, she knows I have a tastebud for new and exquisite taste! 

Tada! Mooncakes from Swissótel @ $48, but she got lobang therefore got them at $38 instead. The flavours are Champagne Truffle & Chocolate Ganache, Strawberry & Dark Chocolate mooncake, Baileys Chocolate and Rum & Raisin. 

Champagne Truffle & Chocolate Ganache - Very strong taste of champagne that goes very well with the very sweet chocolate ganache.

Strawberry & Dark Chocolate mooncake - For those who cannot take alcohol, this is a very nice combination. The snow skin taste "strawberrily"!

Baileys Chocolate - The name speaks for itself.

Rum & Raisin - There's actually 2 juicy raisins inside wor!

I am definitely a traditional mooncake person. Just discovered this year in fact. I tried to like the snowskin durian from Shang palace but let's face it, nothing can beat the real pungent glorious durian fruit. :P

Mooncakes are so rich that it's not possible to eat too much. My latest bedtime snack is a small piece of traditional mooncake along side with my favourite childhood fancy gems biscuits, all washed down with camomile tea to aid sleeping.
