The new flavour this year is the Snow-Skin Banana Passion Mooncake, a summery creation that is fresh and appealing to the palate. The essence of all the goodness of the banana and passion fruit is encompassed in the smooth chocolate truffle, which is then wrapped in the creamy goodness of Raffles Hotel’s signature white lotus paste and tender snow skin.

The perennial favourite year upon year is the Snow-Skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle and Ganache. It features an exquisitely handcrafted Champagne truffle that is delicately swathed in creamy white lotus paste and enfolded in a duvet of tender snow-skin, an original Raffles Hotel creation which ardent fans eagerly await every Mid-Autumn festival.

The new mooncake tin boxes are in a vibrant hot pink colour, perfect for the avid box collector. Complemented by the recyclable non-woven polypropylene bags in a new grey fabric and deep pink print, the sturdy and practical bags are suitable for reuse for grocery shopping, a visit to the library or a picnic at the beach.
