This year, celebrate the joys of perfect pairings as Goodwood Park Hotel launches new snowskin flavours that are each a perfect blend of two complementary ingredients. One of the flavours is the hotel's first-ever chocolate mooncake version.

The pastry team has unveiled a Yuzu Lychee Snowskin Mooncake (日本香柚荔枝冰皮月饼), redolent with the zesty fragrance of yuzu and enhanced with juicy lychee bits, and a Dark Chocolate Crunchy Hazelnut Snowskin Mooncake (黑巧克力榛果冰皮月饼) as part of its Mid-Autumn launch this year.

The limited quantity Dark Chocolate Crunchy Hazelnut Snowskin Mooncake is a multi-textural delight, with a crunchy hazelnut chocolate centre enveloped by a rich mousse made with two types of dark chocolate. The snowskin itself is made with crushed vanilla beans and caramel.

Also available in limited quantities is the Black Thorn Durian Snowskin Mooncake (冰皮黑刺榴梿), which comes with a gold-dusted black charcoal snowskin. The black thorn durian is considered to be one of the most premium durian varietals and only available in limited quantities. Boasting creamy amber-hued flesh, it possesses an intense flavour that begins on a sweet note and ends on a bitter one. The Mao Shan Wang Durian Snowskin Mooncake (冰皮猫山王榴梿) also features a premium durian.
