Luscious Lunar Snowskin Mooncake Gift Box

Salted Egg Yolk. The traditional lotus paste mooncake, rebuilt. Molten salted egg yolk in the middle that bursts when you cut it, lotus paste around it, and crisp pumpkin seed running through. Savoury against sweet, which is the whole point of it.

Pandan Gula Melaka. Pandan lotus paste with a salted gula melaka and pandan centre. The pandan is floral, the palm sugar is caramelly, and the salt stops the two of them turning into syrup.

Matcha Red Bean. Matcha lava over red bean paste, with black sesame lava underneath. Bitter, sweet and nutty at once. This is the one to give someone who says mooncakes are too sweet.

Ingredients: Pandan Lotus Paste, Pure Lotus Paste, Red Bean Paste, Water, Snowskin Premix [INS 1442, 460(ii), 341(iii), 1412, 466, 415, 471], Glucose Syrup, Whipping Cream, Coconut Milk, Caster Sugar, Glutinous Rice Flour, Salted Egg Yolk, Trehalose, Milk, Palm Sugar, Shortening, Pumpkin Seeds, Black Sesame, Pandan Leaves, Full Cream Milk Powder, Salt, Matcha Powder, Curry Leaves, Tapioca Starch (Modified) [INS 1442], Citric Acid [INS 330], Turmeric Powder.

Allergens: dairy, egg, pumpkin seed, sesame. Made in a kitchen that also handles nuts and wheat.

Size: each mooncake is 5.5cm x 5.5cm x 2.5cm and weighs 85g. Six to a box.

Keep them cold. Fridge or freezer, out of the sun and away from anywhere humid. Snowskin isn't built to sit on a counter in Malaysian weather.

Take them out ten minutes before you serve. Straight from the fridge the centres are still firm and you miss half of it. Ten minutes on the plate and they soften up.

Delivery starts 31 August and runs to 30 September. Order before then and just pick your date at checkout. From 31 August it's free same-day across Kuala Lumpur, PJ and Selangor if you order before 6pm, and you choose the time slot yourself.

Everything is made to order in our own kitchen.

When can I get them delivered?

Deliveries start 31 August and run to 30 September. Order any time before that and just pick your date at checkout. From 31 August it's free same-day across Kuala Lumpur, PJ and Selangor if you order before 6pm, and you choose the time slot yourself. We don't make mooncakes outside that window — if you need something today, the same-day range is always on.

Is there a discount if I buy a few boxes?

Buy five and the sixth is free, and it keeps going: ten boxes gets you two free, fifteen gets three. Nothing to key in, it comes off by itself at checkout and shows up as Mid-Autumn Bundle. Six boxes works out to RM115 each, which is why most of the office orders land there. If you need them going to different addresses on one invoice, message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort it.

What's actually in the box?

Six mooncakes, two each of three flavours, in a gift box. Salted egg yolk, pandan gula melaka, and matcha red bean. Each one is 85g and about 5.5cm square, so it's a two or three bite mooncake rather than the heavy traditional size. Three flavours means nobody at the table has to settle for the one they don't like.

What's snowskin? How is it different?

It isn't baked. The skin is a soft glutinous rice dough that stays chilled, closer to mochi than to the golden baked mooncake you're picturing. Lighter, less sweet, and it's the only way to get a molten centre. Put a lava filling in an oven and it sets.

Are these very sweet?

Less than most. That's on purpose. The salted egg yolk is savoury against the lotus paste, the gula melaka has salt in it to stop it going syrupy, and the matcha is properly bitter. If you've given up on mooncakes because they all taste like sugar, start with the matcha one.

Are these halal?

Every ingredient we use in them is halal certified. The box itself doesn't carry our halal mark though, unlike the rest of our range, so if that matters for who you're sending it to, better you know now than find out later.

Is the lotus paste real?

Yes. Real lotus paste, not green bean with a bit of lotus in it. It's the expensive way to do it and it's the reason the salted egg yolk one tastes the way it does.

Can I send it straight to someone else?

That's what most people do. Put their address in at checkout and add a message card on this page. No prices or invoices go in the box, so it arrives as a gift and not a delivery.

What if they'd rather have cake?

Then send them The Locale. Same pandan and gula melaka pairing as one of the mooncakes, cake shape, available all year. The ondeh-ondeh tart is the other one people go for when they want that gula melaka burst.
