7 September 2012, Singaproe – “Flavours of Life” is the theme that Peach Blossoms in Marina Mandarin hotel has chosen for this year’s Mid-Autumn offerings.

The 4 new snowskin mooncakes are Sour, Sweet, Bitter and Spicy, and named “Mini Heavenly Treasures Mooncakes” (S$56.80 for a box of 8, with 2 pieces per flavour).
SOUR
– Mini Semi-dried Hibiscus with White Lotus Paste Snowskin Mooncake
