Mid-Autumn Festival: A new take on traditional mooncakes

The Liqueur Truffle Snow Skin Mooncake set contains eight mooncakes, consisting of two sets of four flavours – Boozy Apricot Passion Fruit Truffle (Orange), Boozy Raspberry Truffle (Pink) and Boozy Yuzu Pomme Truffle (Yellow). Teetotallers can enjoy the non-alcoholic Strawberry Lime Popping Candy Mooncake (Green).

Choosing your favourite from this delectable quartet of snow skin mooncakes isn’t the work of a moment – each mooncake is that good. My absolute favourite turned out to be the only non-alcoholic offering, the Strawberry Lime Popping Candy.

The invigorating lime ganache was complemented by the candy, sparking nostalgic childhood memories of eating Pop Rocks.

Admittedly, it’s probably the most “un-foodie” reason for liking something, but that’s what spoke to me the most. And sometimes, like when you’re reunited with loved ones around the dining table, the memories a dish evokes are just as important as its taste and texture.
