Product details of Tai Thong Snow Skin Lotus Mooncake - 180g

Usage: Snow skin mooncakes such as the snow skin lotus mooncakes are often refreshing and delicately mild within their flavour profiles. These no-bake mooncakes are very popular with teenagers thanks to its soft and chewy texture that surprisingly, goes well with a lot of different types of beverages and snacks. One such example would be the ginjyo sake. When paired with sweeter foods such as snow skin mooncakes, ginjyo sake has more expressive scents of fruit and floral notes and a gentler finish than daiginjyo sake, which is often the more popular choice.

If you’re planning on trying out the chewy and sweet snow skin mooncakes, why not pair them with Ginjyo Sake, which is bound to go perfectly with your scrumptious lotus mooncakes? It has an elegant scent and a mild texture that complement each other well, making it suitable for delicate snow skin mooncake flavours. Unlike the mooncake itself, the sake is ideally consumed at room temperature or warm, for that perfect contrast with the chilled mooncake pastry. For those who prefer a Halal accompaniment to this baked treat, a great replica of the sake’s floral notes would be a floral-based tea or fruit tea.

Storage: Snow skin mooncakes must be refrigerated and can be frozen for several weeks due to the no-bake nature of the pastry. They are typically stored frozen in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to soften. Once taken out of the refrigerator, snow skin-based mooncakes should be consumed within 2 hours of being thawed, as it is not recommended to refreeze them.

Snow Skin Lotus Mooncake Overview:

Snow skin mooncakes are quickly displacing regular, traditional mooncakes as the preferred dessert during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This Chinese traditional snack is a popular make-at-home snack due to its smooth snow-like texture and pleasantly sweet fillings. Snow skin mooncakes do not require any baking, unlike traditional mooncakes making them a rising sensation amongst the popular snack lovers. Cooked with glutinous rice flour or Gao Fen is used to make the skin, which gives it a smoother texture and distinct smell. Gao Fen, unlike uncooked glutinous rice flour, becomes adhesive when mixed with cold water, giving the mooncakes that glossy appearance on the surface. Snow skin mooncakes are a Hong Kong-born Chinese dessert that is a non-baked mooncake, distinguished by its snow-white crust and made from frozen glutinous rice. However, some prefer to add colorful juices from fruits and vegetables like carrots or beetroot to the crust, changing the dessert's original appearance to a more colourful version.

The interior of the snow skin mooncake is typically filled with numerous ingredients which can be either sweet or savory, such as duck egg yolks, carrots, strawberries, and dragonfruit. In recent times, we have also been privileged to witness the birth of ingredients like egg yolk lava mooncakes and cured durian within these snow skin mooncakes. Traditionally prepared and consumed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, snow skin mooncakes are recommended to be served cold and as fresh as possible to suit the scorching summer weather. One of the most notable facts about snow skin mooncakes is that the common misconception is that snow skin mooncakes are healthier than traditional mooncakes because they are lighter and less oily. This may not be necessarily true as it is ultimately the content of the mooncake that matters, such as with the snow skin lotus mooncake. The rich and creamy paste may contain calories and sugar contents that are just as high as a traditionally baked mooncake.

About Tai Thong Mooncake:

Mr. Kwok Tai Ping, a Hong Kong immigrant, established the company in 1910 with the start-up of a modest cake shop on a small street in Singapore's Chinatown region. The bakery specialised in traditional Cantonese-style pastries created from fresh ingredients on a daily basis, and it had been with the Lion Island nation throughout its history, seeing the country's secession and independence. This tiny bakery has since blossomed into a global brand that has influenced many countries as a consequence of its outstanding renditions of simple mooncakes, and the varieties produced by the company of the many complex and intricate flavours that both honour traditional ingredients and still manage to add a little something modern to the mix such as the snow skin lotus mooncake.
