Mid-autumn festival is here again in Singapore! The bazaars, the fairs, the abundance of mooncakes being sold everywhere. It’s a time of festivities and food and sharing.
The actual festival is only supposed to be one day!
But the malls are having a huge party to drive more sales and it is a big opportunity for them.
We call those non traditional ones “snowskin” mooncakes, they have sweeter and more variety of new flavors. Every single year they come out with more extravagant ones like truffle chocolate, durian, rum, etc etc. It’s good. But we also like to keep some of the traditional ones around.
Recent years there’s been a trend towards mooncakes with less sugar, in order to be more healthy.
