Home’s Favourite
Snow-Skin Top Grade Black Gold Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake
Since 1997, Home’s Favourite has preserved their mother’s baking legacy through sharing delectable handmade pastries. Each tart, cookie, and cake recipe is inspired by love and tradition.
After launching the 100% pure Durian Mooncake in 2002 and the first-ever Black Durian Mooncake in 2007, Home’s Favourite became synonymous with top quality durian mooncakes.
This season, catch one of their bestsellers – the Snow-Skin Top Grade Black Gold Mao Shan Wang Durian Mooncake ($96 per box of 4 pcs).
Relish the most popular durian variety – Mao Shan Wang – with its unusual combination of both bitter and sweet flesh in one fruit. The sticky, creamy and bittersweet fruit filling is delicately encased in a gold-dusted black charcoal snow skin.
The tropical fruit Chempedak takes the spotlight in the Snow-Skin Chempedak Mooncake ($70 per box of 4 pcs). If you’re a fan of Chempedak, you get to savour its sweet, aromatic flavour minus the mess when you eat the actual spiny-skinned fruit.
And don’t miss this year’s new flavour. The Snow-Skin Pure White Lotus Paste Mooncake ($65 per box of 4 pcs) has a level of sweetness that is not overwhelming. Its white lotus paste filling has a velvety smooth texture giving you an enjoyable mouthfeel.
