It feels like I've just eaten rice dumplings and now I'm moving on the mooncakes! Time can pass so quickly sometimes. :/
So I'm very lucky to be able to try 5 different brands of mooncakes this year, so I'll be sharing my reviews about them here, especially when there are so many different brands of mooncakes out there! Seriously, I also 眼花缭乱! Haha!
Not a guide, just a sharing. :)
1. Bakerzin - For awesome snowskin mooncakes
This is my second time trying Bakerzin's snowskin mooncakes. I could still remember how amazed I was when I try their snowskin mooncakes the first time. It was one of the better ones I've tried.
To make it better, A total of 9 collections were launched this year! Of which I tried 3 of them.
1. Mini momo collection
2. Bliss collection (alcoholic)
3. Celebration collection (local flavours)
Previously I've tried their (4) lush - fruits and (5) joy - fruits & chocolate collections!
Others include:
(6) celestial - black sesame (BS fans will love this!)
(7) divine - durian
(8) oriental - traditional baked mooncakes with a twist
(9) classic - traditional baked mooncakes
ps: each purchase entitles you to this beautiful Peranakan inspired tote bag!
Momoyama mooncakes is sometime special for this year.
It feature a distinct cake-like baked skin made with butter bean flour!
Flavours include:
Osmanthus Lotus Momoyama Skin
Purple Sweet Potato and Water Chestnut Momoyama Skin
Egg Custard Momoyama Skin
Green Tea Kumquat Momoyama Skin
If you're just buying one, I highly recommend the Celebration Collection!
These four snowskins were inspired by favourite local desserts!
Coconut Yam & Banana Snow Skin (inspiration: Orh Nee)
Red Bean & Black Glutinous Rice Snow Skin (inspiration: Pulut Hitam) Pandan Coconut & Gula Melaka Snow Skin (inspiration: Ondeh Ondeh) (NEW)
Mung Bean & Peanut Snow Skin (inspiration: Ang Ku Kueh) (NEW)
I have tried them all and honestly, all the 4 flavours were good!

2. Swensen's - For ice cream mooncakes
Doing what Swensen's does best, ice cream mooncakes. Also, in celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, the much-anticipated SG50 Moon Gems mooncakes feature the iconic Merlion emblem!
Flavours include:
Crunchy Milo
Lychee Dreams
Yummy Yam
Sticky Chewy Chocolate
Durian Royale

I deem this as a lighter alternative to the traditional mooncakes. Also, who doesn't like ice cream and mooncakes? Especially when they are combined!
