SINGAPORE – Pantler patisserie in River Valley Road has come up with what I think is the perfect Mid-Autumn Festival treat for those of us defeated by the richness of mooncakes.

The Moon Bun. That is what they are called, and they are so light, I polish off two before I remember to stop myself.

The patisserie offered baked and snowskin mooncakes in 2016 and 2018, but I hope this new creation will become an annual offering. The buns, which need refrigeration, get that lightness from a souffle batter.

Inside is a custard made with Japanese Mangetsu Noukou eggs, which are possibly the best eggs I have ever eaten.

The Moon Buns are priced at $95 for a box of nine. Buy two boxes and get 20 per cent off with the code 2X20, and get 30 per cent off for three boxes using the code 3X30.
