Food FYI: New snowskin mooncakes for the season
TASTE OF HONG KONG
Snowskin remains a popular mooncake option for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Crystal Jade offers a set (from $42 for four) for those who miss Hong Kong and Macau. One flavour is inspired by the Macau peanut candy and another by Hong Kong milk tea. Visit www.crystaljade.com to order online or walk in to buy till Sept 21. There is also a delivery option at $12 per location.
LOVE OF LIMONCELLO
Regent Singapore has a most intriguing mooncake. It is the Amalfi Limoncello & Basil snowskin mooncake ($87 for eight pieces) from Italian restaurant Basilico, with a fresh, tart flavour.
