Beautifully packaged and filled with rich ingredients — from the traditional baked variety, sweet snow skin kinds and the light yet indulgent Teochew — Solaire’s special mooncake sets are sure to add a jubilant touch to this year’s Moon Festival.
September’s Mid-Autumn Festival is shaping up to be a delicious affair, what with the special array of flavorful mooncakes that Solaire Resort & Casino Manila has prepared for its patrons.
Gaze at the moon in all its splendor while enjoying these delicacies, which come in 11 different flavors and variants. The mooncake sets are also packaged in vivid red boxes that are embellished with images that narrate the much-celebrated folklore, and presented alongside a sleek white mini-chiller that can be used as a treasure trove of sorts for your small precious items.
First off, there’s the Traditional Baked Mooncakes, which exude a hint of grandeur with its four variants. Take your pick between a velvety red bean paste with pistachio nuts, silken white lotus paste with almonds, double egg yolks enveloped in red bean paste with pumpkin seeds, or double egg yolks with white lotus paste and sunflower seeds.
Next, there’s the the Snow Skin Mooncakes, whose five flavors are playfully made into lollies. The mango paste and mango chocolate snow skin mooncake is packed with the saccharine goodness of the famous Philippine fruit, while the blue snow skin mooncake with lotus raisin paste with blueberry chocolate gives off a stroke of tangy sweetness. One may also enjoy the strawberry snow skin mooncake with lotus paste and rum hazelnut chocolate or the buttery texture of the papaya snow skin mooncake with custard paste and Palette Noir chocolate for a bittersweet surprise. The lotus paste and whisky chocolate mooncake, on the other hand, is elevated with the taste of dragonfruit.
In addition, Solaire also introduces the Teochew-style mooncakes — a soft and flaky twist to the usual mooncake everyone knows and loves. Unlike its traditional and snow skin counterparts, these mooncakes are made with egg yolks wrapped in soft taro paste or fragrant ube paste, which are then enveloped in crispy pastry.
Also equally exciting is the introduction of the limited edition, Solaire x Dalmore King Alexander III mooncake sets. At only 80 pieces, these sets include a bottle of whisky plus two special Dalmore Mooncakes. Eight sets of the Solaire x Dalmore 25 Years — which include a bottle of this rare whisky and two special Dalmore Mooncakes — will also be available.
