August 2023, Singapore – AMI Patisserie celebrates the tradition of enjoying mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival with a duo of delectable European-style puff pastries highlighting the best Japanese produce of the season. From 21 August to 29 September 2023, helming Chef Makoto Arami unveils contemporary, east meets west reimaginations of classic mooncakes, extending beyond their visual splendour.

L-R: Japanese Kagoshima Sweet Potato and Black Sesame Puff Pastry, Japanese Ehime Chestnut and Black Truffle Puff Pastry

Imbued with exquisite flavours, the Japanese Kagoshima Sweet Potato and Black Sesame, and Japanese Ehime Chestnut and Black Truffle puff pastries are exclusively available as a set for delivery and takeaway at $78+.

Baked to perfection, the Japanese Kagoshima Sweet Potato and Black Sesame Puff Pastry enchants with aesthetics and flavours that linger. Each bite of the crisp multi-layered flaky puff pastry unveils velvety Kagoshima sweet potato paste enriched with the nutty aroma of black sesame cream. Crispy sweet potato skin reminiscent of delicate flower petals along with sprinkles of sesame seeds and shimmery edible gold flakes gracefully adorn this beautiful indulgence.

Beyond incorporating the natural flavours of Japanese produce, the meticulously crafted Japanese Ehime Chestnut and Black Truffle Puff Pastry marries sweet and savoury. A creamy mix of almond, truffle, and Japanese chestnut paste nestles within delicate puff pastry layers, where the Japanese chestnut infuses a refined sweetness, while providing a subtle counterpoint to the savoury earthiness of the aromatic truffle. Slices of fresh black truffle and specks of edible gold flakes glimmer atop this sophisticated reinvention.

Gather with family and friends to revel in the festivities with these artisanal Mid-Autumn treats from AMI Patisserie.
