The famous Mini “Mao Shan Wang” Durian Snowskin Mooncakes (S$68+ for eight) are made fresh without preservatives (and therefore do not last long) so expect to find luscious and satisfying durian pulp that is encased in a light snowskin. If durian is indeed the king of fruits, this has to be the king of all snowskin mooncakes!

It is also a great way to introduce your friends and colleagues (especially if they come from a non-Asian country) to mooncakes!

If you have been following me on Instagram, you would have already known that the season for mooncakes (i.e. Mid-Autumn Festival) is coming up really soon and in the spirit of good fun, I have compiled what I would like to call a Mooncake Price Index (even though if we were to be pedantic, it is inaccurate to term it as that) for 2017. What I have done is basically gone through the price lists of all the hotel mooncakes that I have tasted so far to find out what the average price (GST inclusive) per baked and snowskin mooncake is - I have included both normal-size and mini-size ones for the sake of completeness. Do note that when there are multiple prices for different flavours, the cheapest price is utilised in this calculation.
