Good Wood Park Hotel Durian Mooncake

For the love of Goodwood Park snowskin mooncakes, my sister and I went on a crazy drive around Singapore - Goodwood Park hotel, Takashimaya, Plaza Singapura, Jurong Point, Lot 1 and Junction 8 - it was a little thrilling, but extremely fulfilling.

Goodwood Park is famous for it’s durian puffs (which is a seasonal item), and is also famous for its durian snowskin mooncakes. They are generous with their durian filling, and it is always supple and creamy. You can never stop at eating just one durian mooncake.

With only a few days to go to mid-autumn festival, my sister and I decided to try our luck at getting our hands on another box of the ever so popular snowskin mooncakes. We were not exactly surprised that the durian mooncakes were not easily available in the stores, but we were hoping real hard. We heard that the snow skin mooncakes were available but limited in stock.

So there we were, going from shop to shop, and always seeing the “sold out” sign. Finally at about 5pm, we decided to make one final stop at Junction 8. Since it’s 5 pm, the chances of buying the mooncakes seem minute. But when we arrived, we noticed a queue had formed outside the Goodwood Park stall.

“There is hope!” “When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.”

So grinning from ear to ear, we purchased our fair share of the mooncake. And within a short span of 20 minutes, all 10 boxes of durian and 3 boxes of combination snow skin mooncakes were sold out.

Ahhh…. For the love of durian mooncakes.
