To mark this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Tai Thong has launched a series of mooncakes with new flavours inspired by local ingredients, especially the limited edition Imperial Musang King Royale!
Acknowledged by durian aficionados as the King of Durians, Musang King Durians are renowned for their full bodied aroma, bittersweet taste and thick clotted-cream-like texture. Also known as the Raja Kunyit, this heavenly fruit is the most sought after durian in the world.
The Imperial Musang King Royale mooncake leverages on the bold characteristic of the Musang King, using only 100% premium Musang King Durian, resulting in a mouthful of heavenly bliss in every bite. Luscious and creamy, the rich durian filling isn’t too overwhelming on the palate due to it being enveloped in a delicate snow skin case.
“It was important for me to keep the purity of these wonderful durians as I wanted to maintain the aroma and flavour of the fruit. The only added element is the delicate snow skin that envelopes the delicious durian filling, perfectly complementing the taste of the fruit,” said Tai Thong Group Executive Mooncake Chef Yiu, who has created the one-of-its-kind durian mooncake.
Aside from this year’s signature Imperial Musang King Durian mooncake, nine other new flavours are released this year:
Emerald Ferringhi: A white-skinned chia-seed studded mooncake featuring earthy Cameron sweet corn and fragrant pandan.
Black Forest Highland: A pairing of black sesame paste with fragrant coconut and golden crushed egg yolk.
White Mocha Delight: Delivering an intense java jolt, deeply aromatic Nanyang White Coffee is coupled with the rich creaminess of white chocolate.
Limau Manis: A delectable mix of red bean paste and tangerine peels finished with a hint of lemon and calamansi flavours.
Emperor's Dream: A dreamy creamy snow skinned mooncake featuring premium durian flesh paired with fragrant coconut and aromatic pandan.
Sweet Paradise: A honey-scented snow skin mooncake that fuses Nanyang White Coffee with fragrant custard and crunchy roasted macadamia nut bits.
Tropical Trio: A colourful tri-layered snow skin mooncake bursting with three fruity flavours - mango, grapefruit and pandan - an aromatic and refreshing mooncake that will tease your tastebuds.
Pineapple Sesame Crunch: Homemade baked pineapple tart is perfectly complemented by velvety soft sesame green bean paste.
Teh Tarik Delight: Distinct elements and flavours of Malaysia’s favourite beverage are combined with savoury coconut paste and enveloped in black charcoal snow skin.
The Imperial Musang King Royale is only available for purchase at Tai Thong restaurants at a price of RM78 for 2 pieces, while other mooncakes are available at all Tai Thong restaurants, major hypermarkets and shopping mall kiosks.
