Mid-Autumn Harmony

This will be one Mid-Autumn to remember. For the very first time, Once Upon A Time will be celebrating the festive occasion with Snowskin Mooncakes. We’re bringing something really special to you with a collaboration that we’ve been planning for a long time. Joining Chef Jeanette is Chef Then Chui Foong, an established chocolatier with 30 years of experience. She brings with her a wealth of expertise and innovative flair. The famed Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncake from Raffles Hotel is the brainchild of Chef Chui Foong.

This collaboration celebrates the artistry and innovation that can be achieved when tradition meets modern creativity. This mooncake collection reflects their shared passion for creating artisanal and exceptional memorable desserts, making it a must-have delicacy for this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival.

Chef Then Chui Foong | Champagne Yuzu Snowskin Mooncake |
*Contains Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut*
The Champagne Yuzu Snowskin Mooncake is a visually stunning creation, featuring a pristine snowskin with the delicate yuzu flavour infused within.

The snowskin provides a refreshing and slightly tangy introduction. As you reach the cream cheese white bean filling, you’ll be delighted by the creamy smooth texture complemented by the citrusy yuzu, creating a harmonious blend.

Finally, the champagne truffle offers a luxurious finish, with a rich and decadent velvety texture that melts in your mouth, releasing the elegant notes of fine champagne.

This Champagne Yuzu Snowskin Mooncake feels luxurious, with champagne elevating the entire mooncake experience.

Chef Jeanette | Just Peachy Snowskin Mooncake |
*Contains alcohol*
Just Peachy boasts a delicate pastel pink snowskin that exudes elegance. The snowskin is infused with fresh peach puree, imparting a gentle sweetness and a fragrant peach aroma.

As the first bite introduces the subtle hints of peach, the white bean paste filling that is enriched with premium dried peach, adds an additional burst of vibrant peach flavour.

We then go to the heart of the mooncake featuring a luscious peach truffle center, with subtle notes of lime and dill, and a touch of peach liqueur. The truffle center bursts with intense juicy peach, balanced perfectly by the zesty hints of lime and the herbaceous undertone of dill.

This experience is simply.. Just Peachy.
