Every Mid-Autumn Festival, I look forward to two things. One is the sight of children carrying lanterns and lighting candles at night. That innocent scene always brings back fond childhood memories.
The other is the Raffles Hotel mooncakes. More specifically, the legendary snow-skin mooncakes with champagne truffle and ganache. It’s a big hit with the fans.
The online orders for 2009 are already open. Have you ordered yours yet? Take note of the early bird, credit card and bulk order discounts!
This year, the mooncakes are packaged in a gorgeous lilac-colored box. I love it! The box color changes yearly and has become quite the collector’s item! However this is the first time they are reusing the same box from the previous year’s.

SGD52 for a box of 8
That’s the aforementioned champagne truffle and ganache mooncake. Read my detailed review on why this delectable nosh is the best-seller year after year.
A new addition to the 2009 menu is the snow-skin apricot mooncake with popping candy. It’s an innovative creation with pieces of crackling candy tucked within the truffle.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 3 this year. Get yours fast!

I thought I was the only one who is eating mooncakes during the lunar 7th month…. Now I am overwhelmed with so many choices but I have limited space in my stomach…
I am a fan of Champagne truffle but now I don’t know should I stick to Szechuan Court, Li Bai or Raffles Hotel…

this mooncake is to die for! i absolutely love the champagne taste. someone sent it to me as a gift last year and i was sooooo smitten with it after that. :D :D i’m definitely getting some this year!
haha. they started the mooncake campaign early. i always thought they began in the chinese 8th month!

Thanks to your post, I managed to get these mooncakes at 20% off (Citibank). Unfortunately I was meant to bring them to BKK but forgot, and last night was the fifth night (you’re supposed to eat them within 5 days) already..!
Anyway, I did try one and it still tastes great, with the soft snowskin covering being a first for me. Good thing I moved it from fridge to fridge..

Morning,
Are the pics taken by you or provided by the hotel ?
They sure make the cakes look n “taste” yum yum…
Usually, I will wait for free mooncakes gifts from other companies in the office before i try and then order my favourites…….(don’t really into trying bits n pieces from the shops as i can’t tell from the little tiny portion given….)
but now I don’t think I can wait….. Had ordered a few boxes of diff varieties….may end up eating egg yoke n snow skin mooncakes for bkfast, lunch, dinner, supper, snacks

Veron,
Not really into photography but don’t mind having one camera which may one day becomes a collector’s item. (any discount for this statement ?)
:p
PM me the price ? Thanks

hi, i’ve been seeing ppl in forums highly recommending this mooncake flavour from raffles hotel. but i was just thinking, will one find it “sian” to eat 8 pieces of the same flavour? wouldnt it be better if there’s varieties in a box? honestly, i am not one who loves to eat mooncakes. i dont hate it though. well, i need to get some as gifts this year. hence, was googling about it. hope you dont mind.

Raffles hotel mooncakes are still great. I have been collecting their boxes for years. However, this year is the first time Raffles Hotel uses back last year packaging. Quite disappointing. Are they saving cost or environment?

@menghon I like Raffles Hotel’s champagne truffle and ganache snowskin mooncakes. You should try it! @sparklette agrees http://bit.ly/BVaoO
