Hi there
Takashimaya Mid Autumn Festival has already started since thursday, and I have already swiftly made my way there to sample some of the mooncakes which I am eyeing at. 🙂
;
Making my rounds over the mooncake fairs is still pretty okay, I guess the festive mood has not kicked in yet, but this might just be the best time for you to try out the samples they have and picked the one you like. 🙂
Participating outlets include :
- Hotels – Conrad / Fairmont / Goodwood Park / Hyatt / Shangrila / The Fullerton Hotel / The Regent / The Ritz Carlton / Orchard Hotel / Sheraton Towers
- Restaurants – East Ocean / Haagen Dazs / Paradise Inn / Peony Jade / Tung Lok / Royal China / Swatou / TWG / Crystal Jade / Fruit Paradise / Dragon Phoenix
- Local : Bakerzin / Bengawan Solo / KooriMo / Four season durians / Juz Bread / Home’s favourite / Chop Tai Chong Kok / Cookie Museum / Obolo Amestyl / Yu Yan Sang / Eater Palace / Garden Pastry & Cakes / Kwong Cheong Thye / Tastegood
- Overseas – Maxim / The Peninsula / Lavender / Venchi / Choi Heong Yuen / Emperor / Lai Thong Chinese Restaurant / Wing Wah Bakery
At the fair, I have my fair share of sampling, and I still stick to the Goodwood Park, which will be one of the mooncakes to buy this year.
However what really blew me away was TWG, yes its TWG, and they do mooncake too!
I don’t usually go for mooncake that have chocolate in it, however one taste of it and I totally head over heels by its flavour. All their mooncakes are infused with their tea and somehow all these was such a perfect match. You can also buy individually at $15 each or go for gifts which comes with tea too. 🙂
Another thing which I will always buy at the mooncake fair, is the goodies from Maxim, those almond pastry strips, and egg rolls are my yearly routine that just became a tradition. 🙂
;
You can just buy individual packs which is more difficulty than the 3 pack specials at either $10.95 or $14.95. I will share more photos of how these look like in facebook 🙂
And look at those packaging, they are improveing every year and give these goodies a much modern look, great as gifts 🙂

Is not as pack as you would of imagine right?
This year theme also revolves around quite a bit of the Angry Birds too.
Like those which I have posted earlier on in the website about angry bird mooncake, it created quite a lot of buzz at the show, as the ladies wanted to see how they actually look like. 🙂

Isn’t it adorable? All four kind of like hiding in a box, haha… I didn’t try it but the look is quite cute, kids will love it.
;
And last but not the least, I also found these like cutesy pig buns, filled with red beans, doesn’t come cheap, over $10 each, but the work done is so pretty, I don’t think I can just eat it without hesitation.

If you are one of the first 300 customers who spend a min of $300 (card member is only $250), you can receive a free Shng Pin Xuan Chinese Tea Set too. Or you can get a $10 mid autumn voucher with a min spend of $150. Max 3 same day combined receipts. T&C Applies
Happy Mid Autumn Festival!
