SG50 @ Conrad Centennial Singapore

Sponsored Review

Ever since we have made contact with Conrad Centennial Singapore, we have nothing less than “excellence” to say about the host we have received thus far. Invited back a second time (really an honor and pleasure), we were treated to the the launch of the hotel’s selection of mooncakes from the award-winning Chinese restaurant, Golden Peony.

Not only were we treated to unlimited mooncakes, we were privileged to watch the Dim Sum Chef at work, preparing the signature Sweet Potato Mooncake in Crispy Filo Pastry. Chef is from Hong Kong, so he was explaining all the steps in Cantonese and there was an interpreter for the guests. But personally I was very entertained by Chef’s humorous presentation and explanation.

From preparing the sweet potato to mixing the dough and finally demonstrating how to fill the stuffing, Chef made it looked easy but without his 20 over years of experience, we would not be able to have the same standard.

The key in making the Filo Pastry, is how you prepare the dough.
