[Workshop] Atlr.72 Mooncake Workshop for Kids and Pop-up Store at One Holland Village

 Japan's Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has launched a new food brand, Atlr.72™ (Atelier Seven Two), in Singapore to promote eco-friendly eating habits by using plant-based, cell-based, and microbial-based ingredients. Atlr.72™ draws inspiration from the 72 microseasons of the traditional Japanese calendar, reflecting nature's subtle changes. Targeting eco-conscious consumers, two products have been launched in line with the upcoming mid-autumn festival. The two products are the Atlr.72™ Flowering Mooncake and the Atlr.72™ Ice Cream Sandwich, both featuring Solein. The brand aim to connect consumers with nature through sustainable ingredients.  

My girl had the opportunity and enjoyed a fun-filled mooncake workshop hosted by Atlr.72™, held at One Holland Village. Both girls had a great time learning about the Mid-Autumn Festival and designing their own beautiful flowering mooncakes. 

The mooncakes were pre-made, leaving the girls to get creative by adding on the decorative parts on top and using edible chocolate to draw or write on. However, things took a playful turn when they found out that the paint is edible chocolate and they ended up sneaking a taste of the it straight from the tube!  

Showcasing the final result of their own unique mooncakes, designed by themselves, my girl couldn't wait to indulge in her own creation! To top it off, we also got to try the ice cream sandwich, which combines Solein-based vanilla ice cream with mochi, and features beautifully crafted Peranakan designs. 

There are four different flavours in this gift box: Japanese Yuzu, which is refreshing and has a pleasant tartness from the yuzu peels, Raspberry, which is sweet and pairs well with the bitter chocolate, Black Currant, which is enhanced by the white bean paste, and Kyoto Uji Matcha, which brings out the full flavour of the white chocolate with its delicate bitterness. The mooncakes are designed with Peranakan-inspired patterns in mind and made with health conscious ingredients. To best enjoy the Atlr.72™ Flowering Mooncake, thaw it in the refrigerator for over 3 hours before eating, and consume it within 4 days after thawing. Store in the freezer at -18°C or below.

This is not only the most beautiful mooncake I've seen this year, but it also breaks tradition by using healthy and natural ingredients. Each bite brings a different textures, from the top layer of chocolate to the layer of cookies with Solein, and the filling surrounded by guimauve. I think this makes a great gift at any time of the year, not just limited to mid-autumn festival. Lastly, thanks Pink for sharing this event with us!
