Yes the wait is over!
The shoppes have started selling Mooncakes. And we got some today from Szechuan Court at Raffles The Plaza Hotel. 5 boxes to be exact.
Snowskins seem to be really in
vogue this season with the Court hawking the pale-skinned Moonies infused with Bailey's Irish Cream as their latest must-try sensation. And yes we couldn't resist so bought some. But the thing with Snowskins is that they must be refrigerated.
And Mooncake boxes are really getting prettier and prettier these days. This year's offering comes dressed like a Chinese
Cheongsam. Opening the box is like unbuttoning the slinky dress. So
chinois-chic Shanghai Tang! Think I'm gonna keep the box. I kept last year's one as well to store tea-lights =))
Sorry about the fuzzy shot of a baked Mooncake, single salted egg-yolk in Lotus paste with Macadamia nuts. So excited my hands were shaking so couldn't hold the phone steady =))
Now if I could only find a nice lantern to carry around on 6th Oct =))
