Hai Tien Lo's Snow Skin Mooncakes

My pick from this range is the Orange Paste Matcha Ganache Snow Skin Mooncake, as the matcha blends well with the orange paste. Following that is the Gula Melaka Paste with Desiccated Coconut Ganache Snow Skin Mooncakes as it brings out the traditional local flavour, yet it does not look like the original local dessert.

Conrad Singapore – Mid-Autumn Festival 2022 [MEDIA DROP]

Mid-Autumn Festival 2022 is fast approaching and it is time to show our appreciation to our loved ones through the gifting of mooncakes.

This year, Royal Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and Green Tea snowskin mooncakes returned as Conrad Centennial Singapore’s signature snowskin mooncakes. Accompanying them are Ondeh Ondeh and Cranberry Cheesecake snowskin mooncakes.

The Royal Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch is one of my favourites, not only the rich chocolate hazelnut flavour, but the truffle-like crunchiness inside makes it an unique mooncake. The Ondeh Ondeh flavour is something that you should look forward to, especially the burst of flavour from the Gula Melaka.

Conrad Centennial Singapore Snowskin Mooncakes

This year mooncake boxes are fashioned from satin fabric to resemble the reflection of a glimmering full moon. It is also embellished with motifs of fabled birds and flowers to symbolise optimism, serenity, and health.

Chng Kae – Qing Hua Mao Shan Wang Mooncake [MEDIA DROP]

Chng Kae - Qing Hua Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes

Chng Kae (pronounced “Cheng Kae”) in Hokkien for Banker is a new player in this year Mooncake scene. Although it is a new establishment, Chng Kae is helmed by an experienced entrepreneur, especially in the Durian Mooncake business.

This year, Chng Kae introduced Qing Hua Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes ($98 for box of 4). Each of the mooncakes is filled with 100% Pure Mao Shan Wang Puree, encased in a thin delicate layer of blue-white marbled design snowskin. The blue-white marbled design reflects traditional Chinese earthenware that was perceived as luxury items in the Tang Dynasty. 

Chng Kae - Qing Hua Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes

I like their purple tin box, feels very nostalgic, like the traditional mooncakes. To ensure the temperature of the mooncakes remains optimum, the mooncakes are delivered in an insulated thermal bag. 

Chng Kae - Qing Hua Mao Shan Wang Mooncakes

When I first bit into the mooncake, I can taste the solid high-quality MSW durian puree slowly melts in your mouth. The snowskin is very thin and dissipate without affecting the flavour of the MSW. Super Solid, Super Delicious, Yummy!! 

Check out the Durian Puree

CBK Verdict: Die Die Must Order. Durian lovers will go gaga for this!! #duriangasm

PUTIEN at Kitchener Road – Award Winning Fujian Cuisine [MEDIA INVITE]

Deep Fried Pork Trotters with Salt and Pepper

PUTIEN is a Singapore restaurant with its roots traced back to the city of Putian, a coastal suburb in Fujian, CHINA. Currently, one of the most well-known Fujian restaurants in ASIA, it currently has more than 53 outlets and growing.

In Singapore, the jewel of the restaurant is the outlet at Kitchener Road. It has won numerous prestigious awards, including Michelin One-Star Restaurant in 2016, 2017 and 2018.  Personally, I have visited other branch of PUTIEN, however, this is the first time I ever tried the food in Kitchener Road.

PUTIEN Lor Mee ($9.80 for Small, $19.50 for Medium and $28.80 for Large). A must order dish when you dine in PUTIEN. The noodle is cooked in a rich milky stock, together with the fresh clams. You will also find dried shrimp (Hae Bee) and small scallops that gave the broth its umami flavour.

PUTIEN Lor Mee (Individual Serving)

Fried Heng Hwa Bee Hoon ($9.80) is a very popular dish for a Heng Hwa restaurant in Singapore. The bee hoon is smooth with a touch of springiness, bursting with flavours from the broth it is cooked with. Simple looking, yet delicious.

Fried Heng Hwa Bee Hoon (Individual Serving)

PUTIEN Bian Rou Soup ($4.80 per pax). The first time I tried this soup. Looks like a mini wanton, however, the wrapper is made of pork meat. It is good, but pork flavour in the skin is very delicate not recognisable at first. After a few bites, you will notice the uniqueness of the wrapper.

PUTIEN Bian Rou Soup 

Seaweed with Mini Shrimps Dressed with Sauce ($7.90) and Stir-fried Yam ($13.90). The seaweed is an appetizing starter, as the chilled seaweed is tossed mini shrimps and vinegar dressing. While the stir-fried yum, is a fusion between sweet and savoury with crispy and crunchy.

Seaweed with Mini Shrimps Dressed with Sauce 

Stir-fried Yam

‘100-Second’ Stewed Yellow Croaker ($13.80). The yellow croaker fish, butterfly, and steamed in a claypot for 100 seconds. The result is  a perfectly cooked fish with tender and almost boneless flesh. The broth can be drink as a soup as well, without worrying about the fishy aroma. Yum Yum.

‘100-Second’ Stewed Yellow Croaker

Deep Fried Pork Trotters with Salt and Pepper ($6.50 per piece, min order 2 pcs). This dish only uses the front hind trotters. The skin is crispy, while there is not much meat on the hind, you will be sinking your teeth into the tendon and collagen.

Deep Fried Pork Trotters with Salt and Pepper

PUTIEN Sweet & Sour Pork with Lychees ($13.90 for Small, $20.90 for Medium). Tender and succulent sweet and sour pork. The sweetness added a different type of sweetness to this dish.

PUTIEN Sweet & Sour Pork with Lychees

Spinach in Supreme Stock ($13.90 for Small, $20.90 for Medium). Spinach cooked in the egg infused broth with salted egg and century egg. While this is a common dish in most of the restaurant, I have to admit the blend of the egg in the broth gave this dish in PUTIEN a slight edge. A flavour bomb vegetable dish indeed.

Spinach in Supreme Stock

Overall, dining at PUTIEN Kitchener Road is definitely different from other PUTIEN outlet. I visited the outlet at Parkway Parade a few times, however, it seems the dishes at the Kitchener branch is another level higher. Not only the food is delicious, but the price is pocket-friendly as well. If you like PUTIEN, give this branch a try.
