In the Coconut Snow Pandan Yule Log (S$82 nett), ‘White Christmas’ meets classic Peranakan flavors. It boasts silky coconut mousse, pineapple and passion fruit compôte, and pandan chiffon, sweetened with the toffee-like notes of Gula Melaka and dusted with a blanket of shredded coconut ‘snow’.

Completing the collection, the Tropical Mango Pomelo Yule Log (S$82 nett) offers a sunny medley of mango and passion fruit mousse, yuzu-infused sago, pomelo, and coconut Joconde (almond sponge).

If you prefer timeless flavors, consider the Fullerton Signature Black Forest Yule Log (S$88 nett) or the Madagascar Vanilla Mont Blanc Yule Log (S$88 nett). The former features tart Morello cherries and dark chocolate crémeux, while the latter boasts luscious chestnut crème and fragrant vanilla mousse.
