Available in three colours – Velvet Red, Luxe Gold, and a limited edition Antique Gold, with subtle floral print – Conrad Centennial Singapore’s mooncakes makes the perfect gift for family, friends and business associates. 

Gotta give them some credit for modeling their mooncake boxes after treasure troves.

Traditional Baked with Mixed Nuts ($72)

These are increasingly popular amongst the younger generation, I used to scoff at these "healthier" alternatives.

Traditional Baked with White Lotus Paste ($64)

Or if classic is best, they do have it just in white lotus paste!

Which is your favourite?

I have to admit a huge weakness for these sweet treats, snowskin or baked I seem to have a separate stomach space for them all. Pair them with a pot of chinese tea and I am ready to take on Mid-Autumn's. 

What are you looking forward to this Mid-Autumn's?

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu...

~Invited Session~ Move over set menus, we now have individual set menus with dishes individually plated and these come at a pocket friendly $38++ onwards. Taste Paradise and Paradise Teochew are the two restaurants under Paradise Group with these newly launched menus. The featured menu goes for a tune of $38++, there is an option for wine pairing at a top up of $38++ as well. Teochew Style Braised Duo Combination Braised sliced Irish Far Duck, Braised Egg A teaser of their teochew classic served, tender braised duck, crispy beancurd and a delicious drizzle of gravy. Kapuka Marlbourough Sauvignon Blanc 2017 New Zealand A fresh, fruity and crisp wine. Dry with high acidity though. Crab Meat with Fish Maw Broth Nourishing crabmeat fish maw broth is served to warm and comfort the belly. The ingredients were really generous too!   Steamed Cod Fillet with Garlic and Beancurd Skin Everything with garlic tastes good - especially so amidst the COVID-19 situation. Garlic like tumeric is one o...

Ole Ole Kueh @ Parkway Parade

Image
Food kiosks always excite me and more so when they pedal peranakan kuehs. So this was the story behind Ole Ole Kueh - perfectly distracting when waiting for transport at Parkway Parade methinks. Having been won over by Milk Moon's Pulut Serunding, any chance at these deconstructed lempur udangs, I leap at it. This version was draped in coconut, chicken floss and shrimp and the glutinous rice balls were just oddly half as satisfying. Probably the savoury part was not nailed well. Kueh Cara is a dense pandan nonya treat, uncommon actually though it was probably made from the same mould as the kueh bahilu. Kueh kosui at Ole Ole's is as per their other kuehs, really dense. I prefer them lighter actually. Moving onto the savoury snacks, epok epok is a must every time I spy it - just like curry puffs. These would have tasted better piping hot with their thin pastry skins and barely there stuffing. Do you spot more pastry than filling? Lemper Udang is definitely a better bet for...
