White Lotus Seed Paste with Prized Karasumi & Angelica Baked Mooncakes and Aged Old Pu’er Tea Set NEW 乌鱼子当归白莲蓉月饼和 陈年旧普洱茶具 新 $188nett

I tried this exquisite one of a kind mooncake and it is really special!

It packs in a nutritious mix of sweet and salty tastes from the Angelica(herb tonic) and Karasumi but are not overpowering and it’s no wonder why Wan Hao has selected this as a premium mooncake. The unusual ingredients especially the Karasumi (salted mullet roe) had my family guessing what was that very special taste! Quite simply said, it was a delight to try.

Snowskin Mooncakes

I always look forward to the creative snowskin mooncake offerings by Wan Hao because the chefs never fail to surprise and delight! This year’s creations include:

• Chocolate Brownie with Cookies & Honeycomb (New)
• Salted Caramel with Peanut Praline (New)
• Pure ‘Mao Shan Wang’ Premium Grade Durian (Signature)
• Sencha Green Tea with Japanese Red Bean
• White Lotus Seed Paste with Egg Yolk

Salted Caramel with Peanut Praline Snowskin Mooncake NEW 

This flavour was totally my favourite and the hubs agrees! I love salted caramel and this combination was yummy… almost familiar too … hehee it was like a snicker bar mooncake! Such a great combination of sweet and salty crunchy sensations, what’s there not to love, so satisfying! Simply a Must try! 🙂

Chocolate Brownie with Cookies & Honeycomb Snowskin Mooncake NEW 

Chocolate lovers will love this interesting creation! Imagine yummy bits of chocolate brownie ganache sprinkled generously in white lotus seed paste plus honeycomb at the core, and you will know why this choice will be irresistible for the sweet tooth! Tempted yet?

Traditional Baked Mooncakes

The health conscious and weight watchers will be happy to know that the flavourful mooncake jewels created by Chef and team are all low sugar, with no added preservatives or artificial flavouring. Overall I honestly liked that Wan Hao’s lotus paste was not overly sweet, just right! So mummies can indulge in their favourite mooncakes and share these traditional delights with little ones without worrying 🙂 At least I did! hehe…

Back by popular demand, Wan Hao brings back last year’s premium really beautiful Gold Dusted Black Truffle Mooncake for the adventurous mooncake lover that wants something traditional yet extraordinary to impress.

Fans of waxed duck get to enjoy this wonderful savoury interpretation with the exquisite earthy fragrance of Black Truffles! I love black truffle (who doesn’t- now it’s everywhere even in French fries)! As with previously, my mum votes for this black beauty because of her favourite waxed duck!

White Lotus Seed Paste with Chicken Bak-Kwah & Assorted Nuts
