So disappointed in Rafffles Snowskin Champagne Truffle mooncakes this year :(

Is my memory better than reality? or were the powdered white perfumed skins actually baby soft, smooth and stretchy, until you bit into the thin crisp shell of the white chocolate truffle; bit through it and reached the oozy centres and had that perfect mooncake combination explode in your mouth??

This year to my utter sadness, they now have, in my opinion, stiff doughy harder skins with none of the softness and elasticity of past. The chocolate shells were thicker and harder altho they still did have oozy centres and same perfume.

Is it just my boxes? Mooncakes were driven straight home…. View all comments by Mooncake lover

I love lotus seed mooncakes! They’re sweet, and have a light sticky texture, and I’m hooked to them! Wait a minute, I’m hooked to satays too! And chocolate fondue, and… View all comments by pkchukiss

I’m crazy over these Raffles mooncakes!! I have vendors offering to treat us mooncake every year and if they do ask so nicely what type we fancy, I’ll always tell them Raffles snowskin is the only one worth going for! The skin is really delicate with that generous ball of filling be it champagne or mocha truffles. Both are good btw, but the champagne has a touch of luxury to it! There’s another interesting one with dark choc crunchy pearl….sounds good huh? Anyway heard from someone that these boxes go by the handful, usually reserved for corporate customers.

No problem! I don’t particularly like traditional mooncakes either. But these “modern” mooncakes come with a twist that really appeal to me. Plus, who can say no to champagne truffles? View all comments by Veron
