They are from Raffles hotel, Tung Lok group, Fairmont Singapore, Kia Hiang and Park hotel Singapore. Most of the hotels are giving 25% discount for their mooncakes. Needless to say, we had to make good use of this offer.
With a few other colleagues, we strategized our purchase for Raffles Hotel. We wanted to buy those mini snow-skin mooncake with different flavors – Champagne Truffle & Ganache, Mocha Truffle, Dark Chocolate Crunchy and Orange and walnut. Each box has 8 pieces so we bought 4 boxes of each flavors and mixed them to share. This means we will have 2 of each in 1 box. Clever right...haha.
Then I bought a box of baked mooncake with Pine Nuts, Macadamia Nuts and White Lotus paste for my parents. Last year, I bought this for my mom and she said that they were nice.
At the same time, I shared a box of 4 pieces white lotus with single yolk from Park Hotel Orchard. One of my colleagues took 2 pieces and I had 2. The childcare will be celebrating this festival in school on 12 September and K2 children need to bring 1 Pomelo and nursery to bring 1 mooncake. So I will let Anders bring one of the mooncakes and the remaining one will be for Daddy.
I have checked with the sale person and he mentioned that the baked mooncake can be kept for a month... : P
Just one day and I bought so many mooncake but it's really a joy because you know all these are for the Love Ones to enjoy. 这就是月饼的魅力 !!
