What makes a Mooncake truly unforgettable?
Is it the rich filling that melts in your mouth, or the delicate pastry that crumbles just right?
At Imperial Patisserie 皇玥香港, it is both – and so much more.
Now, you can get these Halal Mooncakes from Hong Kong right in Singapore.
Crafted by the legendary Master Chef Yip Wing Wah (founder of the Hong Kong’s Egg Custard Mooncake) and Master Chef Lai Wing Koon (2 Michelin-starred Chef), their mooncakes have earned a global reputation for blending tradition with modern innovation.
Their signature Lava Custard Mooncake, a much-lauded creation, features a silky-smooth custard filling that oozes gently when sliced, even at room temperature.
You can find Imperial Patisserie mooncakes online.
Or various mooncake fairs including Takashimaya Mid-Autumn Festive Celebration 2024 at Square B2, VivoCity L1 atrium, and Nex L1 atrium (from 27 Aug).
Encased in elegant gift boxes, the packaging as much as the mooncakes, plays a role in the entire experience, often doubling as keepsakes once the contents have been savoured.
Celebrate Mid-Autumn with these Imperial Patisserie’s luxurious mooncakes:
Lava Custard Mooncake ($108 for 8 pcs)
Imperial Patisserie’s Lava Custard Mooncake is famous for a good reason.
The lava custard mooncake, in particular, stands out with its delicate balance of rich custard and salted egg yolk. And the lava filling is exactly as promised, flowing at room temperature.
It is easy to see why they have won multiple awards, including the Monde Selection Grand Gold.
The buttery aroma hits you first, followed by the soft, molten centre that flows effortlessly as you bite into it.
It is indulgent but not overwhelming, with the size just right without feeling too rich in taste.
Lava Sesame Mooncake
The Lava Sesame Mooncake from Imperial Patisserie is quite unique take on traditional mooncakes, offering a deep, nutty flavour.
And these is an enhanced version from previous years.
You will find the filling packed with high-quality black sesame seeds, which gives the mooncake that rich, earthy taste.
The texture is so smooth and almost creamy, reminding me of a well-made black sesame dessert.
The balance between the slightly sweet pastry and the intense sesame filling is also well-executed.
After a couple of bites, the richness does build up, making it a treat best enjoyed in small portions.
White Lotus Double Egg Yolk ($92 for 4pcs)
The White Lotus Double Egg Yolk mooncake from Imperial Patisserie is a classic choice for those who appreciate traditional flavours.
The two salted egg yolks are well-balanced with the lotus seed paste, giving the mooncake a smooth, slightly sweet taste with a slight savoury undertone.
The chefs’ attention to detail is evident in the quality of the ingredients, particularly the lotus seeds, which have a soft, creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the dense yolk.
Low Sugar Tea Aroma Assorted Mooncake ($108.00 for 8pcs)
The Low Sugar Tea Aroma Assorted Mooncake offers a lighter, more health-conscious option without compromising on taste.
Imperial Patisserie has done a commendable job reducing the sugar content to under 5%, while still retaining the mooncakes’ flavour and delicacy.
For the variety, you get two pieces each of the signature Egg Custard and Sesame, added with two special flavours like Oolong and Green Tea.
The Low Sugar Egg Custard mooncake maintains its buttery texture, while the Low Sugar Green Tea mooncake is particularly aromatic, thanks to the high-quality tea used.
These mooncakes cater well to those loves a variety, and looking for a less indulgent option.
Egg Roll Original, Earl Grey or Coffee ($26.80 for 12pcs, $48.80 for 24pcs)
These Imperial Patisserie Egg Rolls are made with natural French butter and fresh eggs.
Each roll has a delicate, crispy texture with thin layers that crumble gently with every bite.
Unlike the usual egg rolls, there is this honeycomb-like structure adds a lightness, making them feel less dense.
Despite their fragile texture, they hold together well without smashing and making a mess.
The use of traditional techniques and quality ingredients give them a natural eggy and buttery taste.
Palmier ($29.90 for 16pcs, $56.80 for 32pcs)
Master Chef Lai Wing Koon’s expertise shines through in these beautifully crisp “Michelin Palmiers”.
Made with natural butter, they have a flaky texture that melts in the mouth.
The balance of sweetness and buttery richness is spot on, making each bite an indulgent experience without feeling too heavy.
The size and crispness are carefully adjusted, creating a pastry that is not only delicious but also easy to eat without crumbling.
Other than the original which I will recommend, there are also the hazelnuts and earl grey flavours.
