Conrad Centennial Singapore’s Luxury Mooncake Selections
Usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival with a selection of mooncakes by Conrad Centennial Singapore’s Chinese restaurant, Golden Peony.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, savour some of Golden Peony’s latest mooncake delights ranging from its signature Sweet Potato Mooncake in Crispy Filo Pastry, to traditional baked mooncakes and mini snowskin delights.
We were invited by Conrad Centennial Singapore to sample some of Golden Peony’s latest mooncake offerings.
Indulge in the signature Sweet Potato Mooncake in Crispy Filo Pastry specially handcrafted by Executive Chinese Chef Ku Keung and his team at Golden Peony. Allow the crispy outer layers of this perennial favourite to melt in your mouth as it unveils a fragrant, whipped sweet potato filling within.
For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to check out Golden Peony’s range of bite-sized snowskin creations. These include exotic flavours such as the Green Tea with Melon Seed, Mango with Nata de Coco, White Lotus with Cookies and Cream Cheese and Chestnut with Red Bean.
The Green Tea with Melon Seed mooncake may be on the sweeter side, but it features a soft, mochi-like exterior which pleasantly complements the tiny crunchy melon seeds within.
For a fruitier option, you may be interested in the Mango with Nata de Coco flavour which features a bright yellow skin and a subtle hint of mango flavour that does not come off too heavily. The traces of Nata de Coco embedded within adds a unique tropical touch to the mooncake.
The younger ones will love the White Lotus with Cookies and Cream Cheese, which is nothing like your conventional snowskin mooncake. This unique snowskin creation tastes almost like a cheesecake with the crushed cookie bits within. Even if you’re not a fan of cream cheese, you will enjoy this flavour as the hints of cream cheese are very mild and not too overbearing.
Last but not least, the Chestnut with Red Bean is another exotic flavour to look out for. Encased in a pink exterior, the combination of chestnut and red bean adds a homely touch to this snowskin delight.
Golden Peony also offers a selection of traditional baked mooncakes with flavours such as the Traditional Baked with Mixed Nuts and Traditional Baked with Single Yolk (or Double Yolk) in White Lotus Paste. For those who prefer a roasted flavour, do check out the Traditional Baked with Mixed Nuts flavour which comes with a filling packed with crunchy, fibrous nuts.
Great for gifts, the mooncakes are presented in an exquisite red faux leather box that will impress both friends and family alike.
