Traditional recipes are most treasured when it comes to baked mooncakes, and that is why baker extraordinaire Daniel Tay created these for Old Seng Choong. “We are taking our customers back to a time when it was customary for the family to make and bake traditional lotus paste mooncakes together and to share the labour of their love with one another at one table. This ritual should be shared and preserved, and I hope this collection will strengthen the love for tradition and family,” says Daniel. From $52 for a box of four, from www.oldsengchoong.com.
