They’ve launched new flavours in addition to their best sellers from the 2022 Collection. Seeking something befitting for grandma and grandpa? Then the Premium Double Yolk (S$77 for 4 pieces), a timeless favourite crafted with exquisite silver lotus paste and 2 luscious salted egg yolks will be the ideal choice.

The newly-launched Nanyang Coffee with Royal Milk Tea (S$75 for 4 pieces) draws inspiration from the cherished Yuan Yang drink. This exquisite creation masterfully combines 2 treasured local flavours, coffee and milk tea, resulting in a distinctive and unforgettable taste.

Also something fresh to add to the collection is the Pandan & Gula Melaka (S$75 for 4 pieces) which contains fragrant pandan-infused lotus paste and sweet gula melaka filling, inspired by the classic Southeast Asian dessert, ondeh ondeh.

Returning from its popularity in 2022, the Lychee & Rose (S$75 for 4 pieces) is a crowd favourite. This revival presents a delightful fusion of luscious lychee and subtle floral rose notes, delivering a refreshing and aromatic experience.

This creativity and design excellence extend to their mooncakes as well, elegantly presented within a lavish red Imperial Doors box (perfect to impress your family and friends during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival).

If you’re on the hunt for one-of-a-kind snow skin mooncakes, set your sights on the Mini Snow Skin Mooncakes (S$72.80). I was genuinely amazed when I discovered that one of the fillings for these mooncakes includes popping candy (yes, that childhood-favourite candy that crackles on your tongue).

The Fizzing Popping Candy (white and pink) has a pleasant bubblegum flavour with cleverly-layered blue popping candy within to create a fun and enjoyable experience.

The Peanut Butter & Crunchy Chocolate (brown) has grounded peanuts infused in the filling with a satisfyingly rich chocolate centre encapsulating a rich creamy peanut butter centre.

For something tangy, the Yuzu & Imperial Osmanthus Tea (yellow) has an aromatic floral fragrance of osmanthus with an acidic yuzu centre. There’s also the Umami Salted Gula Melaka included in the set.

Those who are obsessed with the king of fruits should go for the Mao Shan Wang Mini Snow Skin Mooncakes (S$118), which features premium-grade Mao Shan Wang durian (highly limited in quantity).
