Tai Thong Mooncakes For The Mid-Autumn Festival 2014

It was another night of mooncake feasting, this time to taste the award winning Mooncake Specialist Tai Thong offerings. I was there for the launch of their delectable new range of Mooncakes, inspired by the many colours and flavours of our homeland, Malaysia. From the ever-popular classic Mooncakes to their refreshing new treats, Tai Thong promises a scrumptious experience that preserves the heritage of this age-old tradition.

Year after year Tai Thong consistently maintains its popularity with mooncakes that are of the highest quality in taste and presentation. All Tai Thong Mooncakes are manufactured by Tai Thong Mooncake Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary company of Tai Thong Group Sdn Bhd. Free of artificial colouring and flavouring, Tai Thong Mooncakes are certified Halal by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (JAKIM) and are HACCP compliant.

Drawing inspiration from the magnificent designs of Imperial China, Tai Thong Mooncake’s beautifully crafted premium packaging oozes culture and royalty, giving a nod towards Malaysia’s Chinese heritage. With a choice of deep red and golden yellow, the boxes are encased in fine classy black, giving off an oriental aura that invokes a sense of impressive grandiosity and splendour.

Driven by the Master Chef’s desire for experimentation and preserving traditions, this year’s Mooncake range is priced the same as last year and is marked by 5 new flavours galore, from refreshing fruity tangs to the sensationally distinct taste of the king of all fruits.

The Honey Grapefruit and Mixed Nuts Mooncake is pretty unique, in the sense that they added in honey grapefruits to be paired with generous amounts of mixed nuts. The refreshing honey grapefruit paste is perfectly paired with dried fruits, winter melon, almonds and sesame seeds.

Tai Thong's Dragon Fruit and Coconut Single Yolk Mooncake is yet another unique new creation featuring a novel blend of dragon fruit, aromatic coconut and salted egg yolk. Tasting almost fruity, for a lack of better term, it tastes refreshingly sweet.

The sweet fragrance of honey grapefruit paste is offset by the zesty tinge of lemon - a delicious combination found in the Snow Skin Honey Lemon Grapefruit. Personally, I really liked this, other than the subsequent durian mooncakes of course. I love the durian mooncakes, coming up next.

Fans of durians will recall the wildly successful Imperial Musang King Royale mooncakes, launched last year to great fanfare due to its full bodied flavour and fragrance. This year, Tai Thong steps up their game by introducing two new editions to the Durian Mooncake range – D24 and Red Prawn, made from 100% premium grade Durians, both with their own distinct taste and texture, aptly named the Premium Durian Duet.

“It was crucial for me to stay true to the flavours of these fantastic durians, as the aroma and essence of the fruits are precious and loved. The snow skin case that envelops the delicious durian filling complements the flavour of the fruit perfectly,” said Yiu, Tai Thong’s Mooncake Master Chef.

Tai Thong’s Limited Edition Corporate Box (RM138 per box) makes for a stunning and refined gift for business associates, clients or other corporate partners. Featuring a spread of eight mini Tai Thong mooncakes, a mix of both traditional and new flavours, it is indeed an impressive and delicate gift for all.
