Michelin-starred Jiang Nan Chun celebrates Mid-Autumn with a selection of baked and snowskin mooncakes. Nested in a lush botanical inspired gift box, the teal colour is eye catching and those little drawers make for an awesome keepsake post Mid-Autumn!

Oh hi there, thousand calorie sweet treat.

Baked mooncakes are their signatures and this year's baked selection sees a revival of the evergreen Silver Lotus Paste with Melon Seed, Silver Lotus Paste with Single Yolk, and Silver Lotus Paste with Double Yolk while also featuring returning signature Smoked Duck with Assorted Nuts and Lime.

The Four Seasons Medley showcases one of each flavour and is perfect for finicky eaters who want a taste of everything - sounds like me!

This Smoked Duck with Assorted nuts is inspired by Jiang-Nan Chun’s signature Peking duck, prepared in a mesquite wood-fire oven. Infact, I've long heard of their famous assorted nuts mooncake and for those who love assorted nuts, this is a must try. I love the smoked duck in this which balances out the nuttiness and it is hardly as sweet as most assorted nuts mooncakes out there.

My Grandma used to use that mooncakes with just the lotus paste are the most value for money since the other stuffing's are probably not worth what they claim. I cannot help but love this evergreen classic all over again, so smooth and delicious.

Are you a salted egg yolk fan? Single or double?

We're down to the last few days before Mid Autumn arrives and it will be yet another year till I get to eat these sinful treats.

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

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
