  2am:dessertbar has always been one to defy the boundaries of desserts by blurring the lines between savoury and sweet – and they have done it again, with the introduction of their new dessert, the PB &J. With Mid-Autumn Festival round the corner, most establishments launch a range of mooncakes to be purchased by the box. Few, if any, have allowed their guests to enjoy the mooncake in a more personal way. 2am:dessertbar has gone a step further by inviting you to celebrate the festival more intimately, with an individually portioned snowskin mooncake designed to leave you wanting more. Traditional flavours have been stripped and the new dish jazzed up with all time favourites like peanutbutter and chocolate. If that sounds heavy to you, fret not. Peanut butter has been churned into a light-as-air espuma, with water techniques used for their dark chocolate aero block. Layers of mara des bois (wild strawberry) and quince gel under the snowskin surprise lends a tangy touch to each bite, with strawberry shortbread ice-cream rounding off the delectable combination. The result leaves you reminiscing your childhood where peanut butter, and the occasional jam additions, probably played a big part in breakfasts and tea time snacks. This festival was created to coincide with the time of year where the moon is at its fullest and roundest. With flavours like these and a reasonable price tag of $14, you can be sure you will leave the bar feeling just like the moon. 2am:dessertbar also sells chocolate-centred snowskin mooncakes with flavours like Yuzu, Basil White Chocolate, Praline and Truffle ($45) and durian ($48). Each set comes in boxes of 8 pieces.
