I was impressed alongside the snowfall pare pick - flavours were good paired alongside around of them except the greenish tea i (I expected the ginger to alleviate the sweetness but instead they used the sweetness tasting candied ginger). Since I'm to a greater extent than a snowfall pare gal, I didn't sample whatever of the traditional mooncakes except the assorted nuts in addition to Sun dried fruits one.

Known equally "Ng Yan" inwards Chinese, the assorted nuts in addition to sundried fruits mooncake (RM22.50 per piece, RM90 for 4 pieces) was chock amount of goodies-winter melon, sesame seeds, almonds, kat paeng (candied Mandarin orangish peel), melon seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, alongside a dash of rose wine. While we loved the sense of savor of the nuts, nosotros institute it to be a footling on the drier side that may betoken it wasn't likewise fresh.

The mini durian snowfall pare (ping pei) mooncake (RM16 per piece, RM96 for 6 pieces) was superb!! A must for durian lovers indeed equally it contains the highly sought after in addition to aromatic "Mau Sang Wong" durian within. There's non much of an odor from exterior but cutting through the soft snowfall pare in addition to the rigid distinct heady odor hits yous to like shooting fish in a barrel describe yous in. I was so glad I had bought 2 pieces of this decadent mooncake for my woman rear to enjoy alongside my aunt later on this week.

Another favourite of ours was the mini ping pei snowfall white chocolate alongside orangish kumquat (RM16 per piece, RM96 for a box of 6 pieces). The modest chopped pieces of kumquat scattered inside the white chocolate filling seemed to add together a lovely tang in addition to of course, made it less rich.

We also gave our thumbs upwards to the fragrant mini ping pei snowfall nighttime chocolate dulce de leche praline flavor alongside almond in addition to hazelnut (RM16 per piece, RM96 for 4 pieces). There seemed to last a hint of java inside the fragrant chocolate snowfall pare that made it irresistible, similar a chocolate truffle.

Even though it sounded similar a weird combination, the mini ping pei avocado alongside custard (RM14 per piece, RM84 for 6 pieces) made perfect feel in i lawsuit yous popped a piece inwards the oral cavity - silky smoothen alongside a hint of the avocado taste. The only dissapointment was the mini ping pei white greenish tea flavor alongside candy ginger (RM16 per piece, RM96 for 6 pieces) - a footling on the oily side in addition to likewise cloyingly sweetness alongside the chopped pieces of candied ginger. This year, they also retained final year's mini ping pei bird's nest alongside custard alongside a RM1 cost increase to RM23 per piece, RM138 for 6 pieces.

As usual, Shangri-La Hotel's packaging is majestic looking alongside 6 pieces or four large pieces encased inwards a silk brocade covered box. They bring retained that lovely folding boxes too, thence everything looks elegant plenty to last presented to your clients or the family.
