Every year there’s an enticing array of mooncakes at all the malls around this time – the Mid-Autumn or Lantern Festival. I overheard a tourist at Vivo say, “I sampled them all, now there’s no need to buy any.”
I would recommend the one at Vivo, having seen the more cramped versions at Centrepoint and Bishan.
Here’s how the Mooncake booths at Bishan’s Junction 8 looked.
Oh my goodness. Mooncakes galore everywhere. I want a mooncake. Make that a lotus paste one 🙂
I prefer the traditional lotus paste ones too 🙂
It has been really interesting looking at all the different flavours and colours, from traditional to pretty out there (macaron mooncakes!). Junction 8 is near us so I had a good look there and also in Plaza Singapura, ION and Vivo City over the last couple of weeks. Tasted a few just to see what they were like, having never had them before. Some were not to my taste really but others were really nice.
Of all the mooncakes I like the very simple traditional one with is just lotus paste and salted egg yolk in the brown pastry shell.
