Raffles Singapore

Mooncake season is back! Raffles Hotel continues their annual creations of handcrafted snow-skin mooncakes with 2 fun new flavours - Baileys Chocolate Truffle ($86), and Butterfly Pea Gin with Pandan and Lemongrass ($118) - a collaboration with Brass Lion Distillery as tribute to the hotel’s 135th anniversary.

Other returning flavours this year are the Earl Grey Tea and Pearl ($86) - earl grey tea-infused milk chocolate ganache and dark chocolate coated puff cereal pearls, Yuzu and Osmanthus Truffle ($86), and the signature Champagne Truffle ($88) that I know are many of my friends’ favourite! It has white lotus seed paste and a core of white chocolate truffle spiked with champagne.

Reservations are open from now till 21 Aug on their website, or pop by their Raffles Mooncake Booth at North Bridge Road Atrium in Raffles Singapore from now till 10 Sept for walk-in purchases.

A mouth watering wagyu steak that is a must have here! While they have a whole lot of meat options to choose from, this wagyu steak comes with MBS 7, so the marbling gives this the perfect level of fattiness and it is so tender and flavorful.

Pro tip: order the al pastor corn tacos and separate the tortillas to make yourself two tacos. These remind me of street tacos in LA!

The champagne truffle snow-skin mooncake was first hand-crafted by the hotel’s chefs in the 1990s and features delicate truffles made with white chocolate shells filled with champagne-infused cream. Each truffle is sheathed with a premium white lotus seed paste, then blanketed in an ivory-toned glutinous rice skin 》$78/8pcs

There’s just something about Singapore Coffee. Nestled within Singapore's Grand Old Dame, Raffles Hotel, this coffee shop offers a setting, a particular aura that’s inviting and cozy. The eye-catching design aesthetic, the buzzing of the espresso machine, the perfectly calibrated coffee grinder going round and round, and the aromas that fill the air. Did I mention the Kopi Shake is absolutely yum?

🗒 Kopi Shake $9

[Avocado and mango yuzu snowskin mooncake]
A fruity and refreshing treat with mango tinged with yuzu oozing out from within a white chocolate ball. The avocado taste is very light.

and [Champagne truffle snowskin mooncake]
One of my favourite flavours because it goes so well together! The champagne is slightly bittersweet and when mixed with the truffle white chocolate is just heavenly

(~$78 for a box of 8)

May the round moon bring you and your family health and happiness forever~
