GOODWOOD PARK HOTEL
Its signature durian mooncakes are the go-to for fans of the King of Fruit, but Goodwood Park Hotel’s other offerings are just as tantalising. Try the new Ondeh Ondeh and Strawberry snow skin mooncakes: the former contains a pandan cake centre, fragrant gula melaka and a gratedcoconut base, while the latter is filled with juicy strawberry chunks and hints of soursop. Enjoy these straight out of the freezer for an icy treat reminiscent of mochi ice cream.
