Brand: Old Seng Choong
Item: Red Bean Orange Peel with Yolk Blend & Pine Nuts
Website: http://www.oldsengchoong.com/
This is the first year since the brand creator's son, Daniel Tay, took over the brand after remodeling the business. I tried various mooncakes from this brand, but I must say that this particular mooncake flavour did it for me. The red bean paste had just a slight hint of sweetness, and the winning factor for me has to be the addition of the orange peel (a.k.a 陈皮), which gave it such a distinct, unique edge that I enjoyed. Coupled with the salty hint from the yolk and a light crunch from the pine nuts, the entire thing was well put together and overall, it wasn't very sweet, yet had the best robust mouthfeel out of all the other mooncakes I tried.

One more mooncake flavour worth mentioning from Old Seng Choong is their Wu Ren (Five-Nuts Mooncake). The difference in their mooncake is that there is an addition of the Chinese Jinhua Ham (a.k.a the 金華火腿). I felt that this addition gave it a rise in terms of sweetness, though Jinhua ham is slightly salty. The contradiction! But I really enjoyed this delectable mooncake overall.

One of the new snowskin items they launched this year. Well, I have to be honest and share that I have mixed reviews from my friends on this one. But for me, this worked well so I would like to share it with you as well. You'd probably have to like cranberry to appreciate this. I think this sweet, dessert-like flavour really got through to me and I do love this new flavour of theirs! The colour is so pretty inside as well.

Hear, hear, durian lovers! This one is one of my top Mao Shan Wang picks, which I bought both last year and this year as well. I love the premium look of this, what with their black snowskin wrapping and luxe gold flakes dusted on the top. If you're worried that people might look at you as you carry this home on the public transport, your worries are unfounded. They wrapped each mooncake (4 in a box) individually with thick styrofoam packaging, retaining as much cool air as possible to ensure you still can enjoy it fresh when you reach home. The mao shan wang in this mooncake is so power-packed that you'll finish all four by yourself in no time.

One of the top sellers of mooncakes in Hongkong for many years now. If you frequent HongKong, you would have seen the popular bakery on the streets at least once. Known as Maxim's in Hong Kong, and Mei Xin in Singapore. I love their baked mooncakes, traditional is best! Smoothly blended lotus paste mixed with the saltiness of the egg yolks... so so good. If you're a fan of Star Wars, they also launched a special Star Wars Mooncake for fans! Also, I hear their molten (custard lava) mooncakes are awesome too, unfortunately I am unable to share because I did not get a chance to try (all sold out!). So if you already tried it, please let me know if it's good!
