3. Royal Durian

Another fan favourite during the mooncake season is the DURIAN MOONCAKE! So it comes as no surprise that durian snow skin mooncake would make this list. Royal Durian will be launching their 100% Pure Mao Shan Wang Durian Snow Skin Mooncake.

Each snow skin mooncake is made with 100% pure Mao Shan Wang flesh, from Pahang, that is said to be peeled by hand. To complement the taste of the durian, Royal Durian has partnered with a 5-star hotel chain to produce high-quality mooncakes to ensure smooth and delicious quality. The durian snow skin mooncakes are also frozen with nitrogen to ensure the goodness of the durian is sealed in and will only present itself when its eaten by you.

The box has also been designed to match the high-level of quality of the durians. The keepsake box comes with lights to light up a design inspired by the constellations, and to symbolise the mooncake’s “out-of-this-world” experience. The box comes with dry ice too and opening the box will reveal a plume of dry-ice smoke to make that unboxing video just that much cooler.

Each box of Pure Mao Shan Wang Durian Snow Skin Mooncake has 8 pieces of mooncake and is sold at $118 per box. If you order it from 9 to 22 August 2021, to can get an early bird pricing at just $90.80 per box!
