Announced July 24, 2026, the Raffles Hotel Singapore's Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncake celebrates its 30th anniversary, marking three decades as a beloved fixture of Singaporean luxury.

Mention Raffles Hotel, and most think of the Singapore Sling, the iconic Sikh doormen, or its neo-Renaissance architecture. But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, an additional, equally revered image comes to mind: its Champagne Truffle Snowskin Mooncakes, a highly anticipated seasonal delicacy.

These mooncakes, according to The Business Times, have delighted chocolate enthusiasts and challenged self-control for the past 30 years. What begins as an intention for "just a tiny wedge" rarely ends that way, a testament to their addictive appeal.
