5 LOVE LETTERS TO TRY THIS CNY 2016

For this Chinese New Year, Baker’s Well has prepared an extensive variety of goodies for you to choose from. For the love letters, they offer Traditional flavored, Charcoal flavored and Hei Bee Hiam flavored. The Hei Bee Hiam Love Letters ($23) are rather unique, as they are savory unlike the common ones which are sweet. The batter is mixed with spicy dried shrimp sambal, hence every mouth will be filled with the fragrant taste of hei bee hiam. The love letters are a little spicy, so be sure to keep them away from the young ones!

Best Mooncakes 2015 After Eating Every Mooncake At Takashimaya’s Mid-Autumn Fair

The Champagne Truffle Snowskin is the star here, taking a bite into it will send your senses into euphoria. The skin is light and without being pasty and you can truly taste the champagne here. This one packs even more of a punch than Peony Jade’s version at 12% alcohol, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you wake up with a hangover after a few of these. 

MOONCAKE FESTIVAL 2014

One thing is really care about for snowskin mooncakes is their skin, even more so than their actual flavour. And these mini mooncakes has done it perfectly for me! Thin, even, soft and yet not mushy and gooey, you can just bite into it upon taking them out from the fridge, no thawing really required! And neither does they 'melt' into a sticky, gooey mess after sitting at room temperature for a while. Their flavours strong enough for a distinctive, pleasant taste yet not overpowering, and the sweetness just right to make this a tasty sweet treat.

2014 Mooncake Mania!

Baker’s Well is a little cafe-bakery tucked in the same street of Katong Laksa. Besides their signature muffins, they also offer an exciting range of mooncakes! The Snowskin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle gets a thumbs up from us. We also tried the Baked Mooncake with Mixed Nuts (五仁) and was pleasantly surprised. Normally only parents and the older generation like the 五仁 taste- so we were taken aback when the taste was not your usual- the flavours blend really well and the nuts are crunchy. What an unexpected find!

Low sugar snowskin mooncakes? Yes, they exist, and the Simply Her team has shortlisted the best 5 you should try this Mid-Autumn Festival.

CHILLI TRUFFLE [GREAT FIND] It’s an avant-garde combination for a mooncake, even among funky snowskin flavours, but the chilli-and-bitter-chocolate pairing worked. The heat is slow-burning – enough to intrigue without overwhelming the senses.
