When we first started buying Raffles Hotel’s (莱佛士酒店) mooncakes many years ago, it was only retailing for like S$50+ a box. Fast forward to 2024, the price has doubled to almost S$100 for a box of eight Mini Mooncakes (迷你月饼)! Luckily, this is only a once in a year thing and many people are still willing to splurge for the occasion. To sweeten the deal and lessen the damage to the wallet, the hotel is dangling a 30% off selected credit cards discount for early bird buyers.

We skipped over the perennial favourite, the signature Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (香槟巧克力冰皮月饼) and went for two out of the five new snowskin mooncake flavours the hotel have created for this Mid-Autumn Festival. Each box of eight mini snow-skin mooncakes cost S$97, less 30% credit card discount so we paid S$67.90 each. The Chestnut & Tahitian Vanilla with Rum Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (大溪地香草栗子朗姆酒冰皮月饼) featured rich flavours of chestnut and Tahitian vanilla meld seamlessly with the creamy decadence of rum milk chocolate truffle ganache. Encased within a delicate snowskin, infused with the subtle warmth of sand ginger, each bite tantalizes the taste buds with a symphony of nutty, sweet and spicy notes.

Inspired by the vibrant flavours of a summer garden, the Sudachi & Blueberry with Gin Truffle Snowskin Mooncake (酢橘蓝莓金酒冰皮月饼) highlights the unique blend of Japanese Sudachi citrus, succulent blueberries, and refreshing lemongrass, all accented with a hint of gin. The zesty-sweet harmony, luxurious chocolate adds a touch of aromatic intrigue.
