On a daily basis, three chefs can only produce roughly 200 to 300 pieces per day. As the ice cream mooncakes are available in limited quantities, it’s best you book ahead for the Mid-Autumn festival celebrations that falls on October 4.

The snowskin is made from a mixture of koh fun, shortening, corn flour, cold water and icing sugar.It’s not that simple to wrap the snowskin around the ice cream.For chocolate lovers, there’s the Crunchy Chocolate Hazelnut, filled with a dark chocolate ice cream with bits of crunchy roasted hazelnuts and cone crumbs. The pale yellow moon cake is the Inside Scoop’s version of the traditional five nuts mooncake.
