\"\"[UPDATE] We will update this listicle often as we try more mooncakes. Check back often.<\/p>\n

We wrote a Singapore mooncake listicle in 2011<\/a> and 2014<\/a> and then stopped. We didn’t want to do what other blogs were doing. But this year, we all need a bit of cheer and what’s more jovial than round things? \u8d22\u795e\u7237, Santa Klaus, my belly, and mooncakes—all round and happy. \u6708\u5706\u4eba\u56e2\u5706\u3002<\/p>\n

Among the mooncakes our RERG team has tried this year 2020, there is a growing trend to incorporate local\/Southeast Asian flavours with tradition, giving an interesting twist. There is even a kueh salat mooncake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crystal Jade Mooncakes 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Assorted petite snowskin mooncakes ($72.80 for 8 pieces after GST) offered by CRYSTAL JADE<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0comes in 4 different flavours with less sugar: taro<\/strong>, sea salt caramel<\/strong>, coconut<\/strong> and lychee martini<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The thickness and the texture of the mooncake skin is on point – soft, not too floury and melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n

The flavour of the taro<\/strong> filling is subtle and the texture, cottony.<\/p>\n

The sea salt caramel<\/strong> reminded me of the taste of caramel brittle – sweet, addictive and toffee-like.<\/p>\n

For the coconut<\/strong>, the rich and fragrant gula melaka in the grated coconut filling combined with white lotus paste is surprising and delicious.<\/p>\n

The lychee martini<\/strong> has a distinct floral note to it (think bandung) and packs an alcoholic punch.<\/p>\n
