#Gin Thye

[buffetlicious]

Gin Thye (锦泰) love durians so much that they came up with a selection of snowskin durian mooncakes. One of them is this Durian Crown Jewel Box and the container looks like just like a real durian fruit. Within it are snowskin mooncakes shaped like a seed of durian with 100% real mao shan wang durian flesh.

Just like everyone else, they also do baked/fried mooncakes such as Teochew Flaky Mooncake (千层芋泥月饼) with single or double egg yolks, rainbow gingko nuts and a new savoury Chix Mochi featuring chicken floss and mochi.

You can only find these Piglet Biscuits (猪仔饼) with or without the baskets during mid-autumn festival. Bakers used to bake a small piece of dough to test the temperature of their ovens and in the end, they formed these bits of dough into biscuits in the shape of little pigs so that they could sell off the extra dough left over when making mooncakes. They even have seldom seen Da Lao Bing Pastry Mooncake (大朥月饼) and Teochew Shuang Ping Pastry Mooncake (传统潮州双拼月饼).

The paste is soo good. Goes well with the melty centre though the black sesame taste could be stronger

The higher the proof, the fastest it extracts the flavor

Spicy infusion can take to an hour to get all the flavors *be careful!*

Basic fruits take two to  four days or weeks

For citrus we want to keep only the peels (without the white interior)

For spicy we use half a jalapeño for 12 oz of spirit

Mdm Ling Bakery came up with not one, not two but three mooncake bags to bring the goodies home or as gifts for colleagues, friends and relatives. Their bucket bag came in Moon Yellow and Minty Rose colours while the Tote of Harmony bag featured shade of fuchsia.

Many hotels, restaurants and bakeries incorporated durian into their mooncakes but Gin Thye Cake Maker (锦泰西果饼家) went one step further. Letting you bring them home in a thorny king of fruits (if I may call it a) box for their Royal Durian Bliss Charcoal Snowskin Mooncake.

But if you are not parting with that much spare cash, how about getting these Piglet Mooncakes for only a few dollars each. Heard over the radio that the estimated cost of ingredients for mooncakes is about S$4 according to a chef and they are selling us a box for like close to S$100!!! I know you have to factor in the packaging and marketing cost but it is still a lot of monies to pay for four big or eight mini pieces of mooncakes with fancy packaging. Moreover, the mooncakes had shrunk in sizes, yet selling at a higher price point.

August Baking Studio is offering their very own series of Teochew Mooncakes with yolk or mochi. These flaking and crispy desserts featured traditional white lotus, taro and red bean fillings to more exotic flavours like matcha, oolong and even tiramisu.
