Bringing Warmth, Passion, and Creativity to the Mid-Autumn Festival

As the autumn leaves start to paint the landscapes in rich hues and the full moon graces the night sky, it is time to celebrate the cherished Mid-Autumn Festival. This season of reunions with family and loved ones is made even more special by the thoughtful creations of Michelin-starred Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro. Their exquisite mooncakes, delicately prepared by their established culinary team, symbolize the essence of this festival – warmth, passion, and creativity.

The Enchanting Mooncake Collection

From the 1st of August 2023 onwards, Shisen Hanten unveils their Early Bird Collection, featuring an assortment of mooncakes encased in intricately designed gift boxes that beautifully represent the essence of the season. The boxes are adorned with autumn floral art and elegant cranes, symbolizing purity and beauty, all under the radiance of the full moon – the perfect embodiment of family reunions.

The Luxury Collection – A Feast for the Senses

The Luxury Collection from Shisen Hanten is a thoughtful curation of flavours and sensations. Priced at $178, this luxurious set includes four pieces of signature mooncakes and a bottle of Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2018, Kent. It is the ideal gift for friends, family, or business associates, a perfect token of love and appreciation during this season of togetherness.

Indulge in the Mini Snowskin Collection

For those who prefer the lighter and more delicate snowskin mooncakes, the Mini Snowskin Collection priced at $168 offers eight mini mooncakes per box. To enhance the experience, each set comes with a bottle of Devaux Cuvée D Rosé MV with apricot & raspberry scents that tantalize the senses with every sip.

Novel Flavors for a Dual Sensorial Journey

Shisen Hanten surprises and delights with their innovative mooncake creations. One of the highlights is the Charcoal Black Sesame Paste with Sakura Prawn, Pistachio, and Melon Seeds mooncakes priced at $88 for a box of four. This unique marriage of sweet and savoury flavours takes your taste buds on a delightful dual-sensorial journey in every bite.

Signature Creations for Classic Lovers

For those who appreciate the timeless classics, Shisen Hanten’s Signature Mooncakes have got you covered. At $88 for a box of four, the Assorted Nuts with Jamón Ibérico Baked Mooncake is a perfect combination of textures, delivering a rich and savoury experience.

Elevating Traditional Flavors

Shisen Hanten has masterfully elevated the classic mooncake flavours to new heights with their Double Yolk and White Lotus Paste mooncakes priced at $88 for four pieces. The silky White Lotus Mooncake with Double Yolk is a celebration of the joy that perfectly complements the full moon’s radiant glow.

Innovative Mooncake Pairings

For those seeking unique flavour profiles, Shisen Hanten’s snowskin mooncake lineup offers two delectable choices. The Premium Oolong Tea Chocolate with Orange Paste in Snowskin, priced at $76 for eight mini pieces, presents an elegant taste profile with a blend of earthy Oolong notes and rich chocolate orange.

Alternatively, the Lychee Martini Chocolate with White Lotus Paste in Low Sugar in Snowskin, also priced at $76 for eight mini pieces, is a delightful and refreshing take on a classic cocktail. Its soft pastel exterior and decadent chocolate centre create a harmonious balance of flavours.

I had the pleasure of trying their Assorted Nuts with Jamón Ibérico Baked Mooncake and their Double Yolk with White Lotus Paste Mooncake, and they left me truly impressed. The Assorted Nuts with Jamón Ibérico Baked Mooncake is a true delight for the senses. From the moment I unwrapped the beautiful packaging, the rich aroma of roasted nuts and savoury Jamón Ibérico filled the air, setting the stage for a memorable culinary experience. Upon the first bite, I was greeted with a perfect combination of textures. The crust, golden brown and delicately flaky, encased a generous filling of assorted nuts adding a delightful crunch to each bite. The pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the Jamón Ibérico, adding a savoury and smoky note that beautifully balanced the sweetness of the nutty filling. The blend of flavours in this mooncake was harmonious, with each ingredient complementing the other. The nutty goodness was comforting, while the presence of Jamón Ibérico added a layer of sophistication and uniqueness. It was evident that Shisen Hanten’s culinary team had put thought and effort into creating this outstanding creation. The Double Yolk with White Lotus Paste Mooncake exuded an aura of elegance from the moment it graced my table. Its pristine appearance, with two golden egg yolks peeking through the smooth and silky white lotus paste, symbolized the full moon in all its radiance. With the first bite, I experienced the lusciousness of the white lotus paste, which was delightfully sweet but not overwhelming. The two velvety egg yolks provided a luxurious richness, elevating the overall taste profile and adding a touch of indulgence to the mooncake. The balance of flavors in this creation was impeccable, allowing the traditional essence of white lotus paste to shine while celebrating the symbolism of the double yolk, which is considered a sign of prosperity and happiness. Shisen Hanten’s craftsmanship was evident in the delicate and smooth texture of the mooncake, showcasing their dedication to perfection.

Verdict: A Culinary Journey Worth Embarking On

In conclusion, Shisen Hanten’s mooncakes are a testament to their culinary prowess and dedication to creating unique and exceptional flavours. The Assorted Nuts with Jamón Ibérico Baked Mooncake offers a delightful combination of textures and a rich, savoury experience that will appeal to those who seek bold and innovative flavours. On the other hand, the Double Yolk with White Lotus Paste Mooncake exudes an aura of elegance and pays homage to traditional flavors in a refined and exquisite manner. Both mooncakes are perfect companions to the Mid-Autumn Festival, bringing joy and warmth to gatherings with family and loved ones. With their thoughtful creations, Shisen Hanten has undoubtedly elevated the classic mooncake experience, making it a culinary journey worth embarking on.
