Mooncakes

I kinda like mooncakes. I used to love them but now I think my tastes have changed. I don't crave for them but if a nice one comes by, I would take a bite.

The office had a few boxes of mooncakes. The first one I will talk about is the Raffles Hotel Champagne Truffle Mooncakes. My colleague received a call from her friend saying that they will be bringing mooncakes over to our office and she wondered aloud what mooncakes he will be bringing. So I said the first thing that came to my mind coz I remembered that they were fabulous: I hope it's Raffles Hotel Champagne Truffle Mooncakes. Everyone laughed - yah right... Champagne Truffle. They thought it would be a normal baked mooncake. Guess what? When he arrived, he brought with him a box of Raffles Hotel Champagne Truffle Mooncakes! My colleagues were surprised! Even I was too! And they were as fabulous as ever! Loved the nice snowskin, smooth lotus paste and the white chocolate truffle in the middle was perfect.

We were also given a budget from our head office to buy ourselves some mooncakes. So we got the ones at TWG. Now these were not mooncakes in the traditional sense. There was jam in the middle!

And the mooncakes were really colourful. After sampling each, I still didn't know what I was eating - just that the texture was really smooth and good. Not too sure about some of the jam centers. I was quite convinced one was Lemon Cheesecake, the green one was Pistachio & Almond and the Brown one was a hint of Chocolate. But when I Googled to research, it turned out that I was quite wrong. All were tea infused. One of them was Earl Grey infused something... I certainly didn't get Earl Grey while eating the mooncakes!

But I must say that the packaging was really pretty. I kept the box as a table organiser - to throw in my coins, stationary and stuff...
