Pretty mooncake gift sets you’ll want to keep for yourself

The artistic marbled gradient gift box combined with the colourful snowskin mooncakes within make for a playful, fantasy-like design. There are four flavours in this box – Yuzu Cranberry, Mung Bean Pistachio, Coconut Pecan Baked Almond and Gula Melaka Macadamia – with two pieces each.

If you’re gifting to someone who doesn’t like mooncakes, consider the Chocolate Mooncakes Box of 8 ($98) made entirely of chocolate instead. The box also features a similar eye-catching marbled gradient, with orange, yellow and green tones.

How do you make traditional mooncakes look more fashionable? The Marmalade Pantry has decided to use a limited-edition faux leather tote to replace the box, making it a unique ‘gift bag’ instead.

Two new flavours are introduced this year: Pandan Kaya with Melon Seeds and Classic Earl Grey Infused Lotus Paste, adding to the classic Baked Charcoal with Black Sesame and Macadamia Nuts and Double Yolk with White Lotus Paste flavours.

There are four gift sets available. The Marmalade Mix ($72+) has one of each flavour, The Classic Collection ($74+) has four Double Yolk with White Lotus, The Dual Deluxe ($238+) has 16 mooncakes with four of each flavour and a 30g tin of Gryphon Gold Moscato Tea, and finally, The Gold Moscato ($238+) has 12 mooncakes with three of each flavour and two tins of Gryphon Gold Moscato Tea.

For this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Regent Singapore has taken inspiration from each of its restaurants to create a series of new snowskin flavours.

These can be obtained in the Regent’s Snowskin Collection ($54 for four pieces or $90 for eight) or bought separately.
