The Best Mooncakes for This Mid Autumn Festival
With just a few days ahead of the holiday which is this Saturday, 10th September this year, we line up some of the best traditional and non-traditional mooncakes for your sweet tooth to enjoy.
1. ROSEWOOD
The Picnic on the Moon collection celebrates the history of Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncakes of a more traditional take, featuring White Lotus Seed Paste with Double Egg Yolks and Yellow Lotus Seed Paste with Olive Seeds with Double Egg Yolks, both made with salted duck egg. Meanwhile, May Chow gestures towards the local community with Tea-Flavoured Mini Mooncakes, made with fragrant Fujian Oolong sifted in with white lotus seed and flavoured with local-made sweet Kowloon soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice.

4. THE CAKERY
The Cakery’s creative line of vegan pastries assume the form of mooncakes just ahead of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Instead, the ingredients are of premium quality, and includes a 600-year history Yame hojicha powder from Fukuoka and the citrus-based Shikiwasu juice from Okinawa.
