BREADTALK #01-01/02

BreadTalk has brought Hang Heung’s Famous Mooncakes to Singapore! From the choice of ingredients to the mastery of time-honoured techniques, Hang Heung has kept to its 100-year tradition of bringing you handcrafted mooncakes with an authentic taste of Hong Kong.

A household name in Hong Kong, Hang Heung is known for their White Lotus Paste Mooncake. Packed with smooth and fragrant lotus paste made from specially selected Hunan lotus seeds, this signature White Lotus Seed Mooncake with Double Yolk is bound to dazzle. The Prestige White Lotus Seed Mooncake with Double Yolk Set(4 pieces) costs $63. Other well-loved varieties such as the Red Bean Paste and Mixed Nuts Mooncake are also available.

MUSANG KING BY FOUR SEASONS DURIAN #B2-25

It’s hard to fault Musang King by Four Seasons Durian’s famed Pure D24 Durian Mooncakes ($69/4pcs) and 100% Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncakes ($128/4pcs) as both have been the brand’s perennial best-sellers from day one.

The mooncakes are freshly produced in small batches, and each of them brings together a rich contrast of textures and flavours. Expect creamy durian pulp encased in a soft snowskin. Sweet, luscious, and filled with a tropical fruit punch, each bite promises rich and smooth durian filling that will excite all palates. If you cannot decide which one to get, go for a box of 2 Mao Shan Wang and 2 D24 mooncakes($108).

BENGAWAN SOLO #B2-59

Bengawan Solo celebrates the festival with a range of traditional mooncakes in a bright red gift box with pink peonies stamping. Apart from traditional classics such as Pure Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolk, Red Bean, Pandan Lotus with Single Yolk and Mixed Nuts, Bengawan Solo is offering a Shanghai Mooncake with Single Yolk, and Red Date Paste Mooncake. The mooncakes are priced from $9 per piece, or $36 for a box of four.

I enjoyed the Pure Lotus Seed Paste with Double Yolk ($10.50 per pcs / $42 for 4 pcs) which see golden-brown pastry wrapped around a velvety lotus seed paste embedded with savory yolks. If you prefer something more petite, you may like Bengawan Solo’s mini baked mooncakes.

Meticulously made by hand with recipes passed down from top Hong Kong chefs since 1984, The Pine Garden’s mooncakes sport a kaleidoscope of colourful skins and are stuffed with innovative fillings. This year’s snowskin collection includes Red Bean Hokkaido Milk, Yam Paste, D24 Durian Paste, Green Tea Paste, Lychee Martini White Lotus Paste and Lotus Paste 2 Yolks.

Basking in the spotlight is the all-new Red Bean Hokkaido Milk which is guaranteed to please. Enrobed in the richness of red bean paste is a rich and creamy Hokkaido milk centre. Prepare yourself for a contrast of flavours! I have been, and still am, in love with the Lychee Martini White Lotus Paste which is refreshingly light in texture. Simply irresistible!

Sink your teeth into the new Starbucks® Coffee with Caramel & Hazelnut mooncake, which sees aromatic Starbucks microground coffee infused with white lotus paste tossed with caramel and chopped hazelnut for an added crunch. There’s also the Honey Earl Grey mooncake which will satisfy tea lovers.

1A Heritage #B2-34

1A’s Heritage’s Teochew-style flaky yam paste mooncakes which are made according to a family recipe that has been preserved through generations, are extremely popular. With fillings such as yam, yam sesame, and yam pumpkin, the delicate mooncake is crispy, flaky and tasty.

I enjoyed the Teochew Crispy Yam Pumpkin Yolk Mooncakes ($30 for 2 pcs). The mooncake is savory with hints of sweetness The filling is not too sweet and I like the smooth yam paste within the pastry. They also offer white lotus mooncakes and mao shan wang snowskin mooncakes.
