Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with Resorts World Sentosa’s Luxurious Mooncakes & Exclusive Snowskin Tea Pairings!

The Mid-Autumn Festival calls for a time of indulgence with your nearest and dearest. Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) pulls out all the stops this year with artful tea pairings alongside their signature snowskin collection, traditional baked mooncakes and a highly-exclusive mooncake set collaboration between two of the finest restaurants in RWS. From the mooncakes to their beautiful eco-friendly gift boxes RWS is all set to elevate your moon-viewing experience.

RWS’ incredible dedication to sustainability has led them to come up with an elegant gift box that is also FSC-certified and made with corrugated board — an eco-friendly and recyclable material that will keep your treats snug and ready-to-be-consumed anytime.

RWS’ Signature Snowskin Mooncakes And Premium Teas Set

Make your moon-viewing experience unforgettable as you indulge in RWS’ Signature Snowskin Mooncake premium tea pairings ($128 for assorted box of four, $98 for RWS members). The Green Tea with American Ginseng balances out refreshing flavours of the vegan, gluten-free mooncake with a gentle sweetness that gives boosts of vitality from the light White Peony Tea tea. From its beautiful combination of colours to the soothing fragrance of the green tea complemented with American ginseng and candied walnuts to maintain your qi and yang, you will never be bored with this divine treat.

Enjoy the robust flavours of the Shui Xian Oolong with Osmanthus and Longan. All natural, with a low-sugar content, this delicious white snow lotus paste snow skin is paired with a healthy amount of almonds and pine nuts for a desirable crunch. The smooth, ambrosial paste along with the mix of nuts and chewy, mochi-like skin made for a fun, satisfying textural contrast. Round off the sweetness of the mooncake with the full-bodied dark rock Aged Narcissus Tea that also aids with digestion and boosts metabolism.

Pleasing to the eyes and taste buds, the Butterfly Pea Flower with Organic Cereal, an immunity-boosting treat, is a delight that will please all ages. Packed with antioxidants and fibre, the organic cereal and milk custard filling was like an extremely elevated version of what I would like to have for breakfast everyday. The richness of this elegant treat goes exceedingly well with the smooth, mellow Pu’er Tea. This nourishing brew is popularly known for strengthening blood vessels and promoting heart health, so you can fully indulge to your heart’s content.

This gorgeous pairing of Cherry Blossom with Yuzu is just what you need to add a touch of beauty to your Mid-Autumn Festival! The blush pink snowskin is filled with a tangy yuzu-flavoured white snow lotus paste that is deliciously luxurious and rich in antioxidants. Thumbs up for including bits of yuzu into the creamy paste for that extra bite of zestiness! Round off your experience with sips of light-bodied Imperial Golden Cassia Tea that not only improves blood circulation but also wonderfully complements the flavourful mooncake. Talk about beautiful food making you beautiful — this is absolutely it.

If you’re looking for the perfect centerpiece for this year’s celebrations, look no further. Elevate the brilliantly flawless snowskin mooncake and tea pairing with a charming Mandarin Series Tea Set ($138, $98 for RWS members) from Asianera. This special collaboration with the boutique workshop sends out a fine bone china teapot-and-teacup set painted with a ginkgo tree, symbolising hope and peace, with golden leaves and tasteful gold lustre banding.

Luxury Baked Mooncakes Set by table65 and Syun

Treat yourself to RWS’ Luxury Baked Mooncakes Set ($88 for a box of two, $68 for RWS members), handcrafted by Michelin-starred restaurant table65 and nouvelle Japanese restaurant Syun. This unique set uses premium ingredients to create two glorious blends of flavours that are guaranteed to impress.

table65 brings aesthetics and sensational flavours into one solid creation that paints a sleek picture of elegance. Cutting into the Golden Bamboo Charcoal with Australian Black Truffle is enough to release the faint fragrance of truffle. Promising waves of umami, the mooncake teases with prominent notes of the rich, distinguished truffle as I bit into the smooth and decadent mix of black sesame paste, custard, walnuts and low sugar white lotus paste.

From the kitchens of Syun emerges a vibrant blended harmony packed in an exquisite Whisky Soaked Yuzu Peel with Sakura mooncake. This lip-smacking baked mooncake is filled with exciting surprises of whiskey-marinated yuzu peels, roasted sunflower seeds, salted egg yolk, and smooth white lotus paste. The heady scent from this treat alone is intoxicating enough and I love how every bite is a whole different experience thanks to the delicately sweet paste and its bounty of delectable treasures. You’re in for a wild, gastronomic ride with this one, no doubt!

RWS Traditional Baked Mooncakes

RWS hasn’t forgotten the classics. Look forward to perennial favourites such as the Low Sugar White Lotus Seed Paste with Single or Double Yolk, Low Sugar White Lotus Seed Paste with Melon Seeds, and Traditional Mixed Nuts, and even a unique combination of Yam Coconut with Chestnut. Not sure which to go for? The RWS Treasure Mix Set ($66 for an assorted box of four, $53 for RWS members), which brings together an assortment of all of the above, in a classic gift box is just what you’re looking for.
