These are packed in individual tins, which are housed in matching ivory or red trinket boxes embellished with floral embroidery. A distinctive aroma of truffles (of the fungi, not chocolate variety) emanates from the golden-brown pastry as soon as its packaging is unwrapped. This rich ingredient lifts \u2014 instead of overpowers \u2014 the otherwise dense and earthy chestnut paste, which gets its crunch from the inclusion of coarsely-chopped cashew nuts.<\/p>\n<p>From $48 for two. <strong>HomeTeamNS members enjoy 35 per cent off all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/mandarin-oriental-singapore\/\">mooncakes from Mandarin Oriental Singapore<\/a>. <\/strong>Other flavours include the Snow Skin Lychee Pineapple with Pine Nuts and the Baked Oriental Beauty Tea with Ginger Red Date.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5df628a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5df628a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bd64aed elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"bd64aed\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c4cc65e\" data-id=\"c4cc65e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4970746 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4970746\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>For fashionistas: Lychee White Lotus Paste from W Singapore \u2013 Sentosa Cove<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5080e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a5080e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30984\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mooncakes-Lunar-Couture-3-1200x841.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9789e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9789e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>True to form, <a href=\"https:\/\/wsingapore.co\/mooncake2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">W Singapore \u2013 Sentosa Cove\u2019s<\/a> foray into mooncakes delivers the standard of style we\u2019ve come to expect from this luxury resort.

Though cutting into these treats takes a bit of effort, the reward is a rich ice-cream-like dessert that offers true melt-in-the-mouth decadence for any durian lover. According to FORBIDDEN, the fruit are sourced directly from the hills of Raub in Pahang, Malaysia. Each classic metal tin contains two varieties: Mao Shan Wang durian encased in acai-infused snowskin and coconut snowskin filled with D24 durian. The rich, bittersweet notes of the durian fillings really shine after 15 minutes of thawing, which also makes for the ideal snowskin texture. Though neither \u201csuperfood\u201d flavour left much of an impression, the pulpy fillings sure hit the spot.<\/p><p>From $95 for four (up to 25 per cent off).<\/p><p><!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-244fdf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"244fdf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-82e8b41 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"82e8b41\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ea56ea0\" data-id=\"ea56ea0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cc30e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cc30e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>For those with a penchant for local flair: \u201cOndeh Ondeh\u201d Pandan Gula Melaka with Grated Coconut from Crowne Plaza Changi Airport<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fa0a4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1fa0a4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-30974\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Crowne-Plaza-Changi-Airport_Baked_and_Snowskin_Mooncakes_Group_Photo-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5089db3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5089db3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Having been named World\u2019s Best Airport Hotel in 2023, it\u2019s no surprise that <a href=\"https:\/\/crowne-plaza-changi-airport.myshopify.com\/#mooncakes2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crowne Plaza Changi Airport<\/a> chose to reference its identity in its mooncake box design. Featuring laser-cut orchid motifs and gold-tone airplane-shaped drawer knobs, the midnight blue trinket box holds a quartet of assorted snowskin mooncakes. These include the Teochew Orh Nee\u00a0Taro Lotus with Ginkgo Nuts, Pulut Hitam\u00a0Roasted Dark Glutinous Rice with Coconut Cream,\u00a0and Black Sesame Paste with Peanut Crunch and Gold Dust. Rounding off the four is our top pick, the Ondeh Ondeh\u00a0Pandan Gula Melaka with Grated Coconut,\u00a0which shines with its chewy snowskin in a banana-yellow shade, and conceals a moist lotus paste whose green hue comes from pandan extract.
