It is Mooncake Festival aka Mid-Autumn Festival again. On this day, the moon is said to be the brightest and roundest and biggest. It is also the Chinese Valentine's Day where couples will go admire the moon or something. This is also the year when I didn't really try many types of mooncakes unlike in previous years. Besides the durian mooncakes I bought from Cakerie 727, I also bought 2 boxes of the snowskin mooncakes from Fairmont. Aren't the boxes pretty? This time there was a "mirror" too.
I always love Fairmont (Raffles the Plaza) mooncakes, particularly for the champagne truffle mooncake which I think is even better than Raffles Hotel's version.
This year the new mooncake is the dark chocolate with strawberry. It was pretty ok. The champagne truffle was good. The Baileys (orange) was too strong for me. Rum n Raisin was pretty nice too. No more mooncakes till next year where probably I will just buy from Fairmont again. I have been told not to buy too many mooncakes now since not everyone eats them.Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Soon it will be Christmas and 2009. Time sure flies.
