Mooncake mania – all our best mooncake stories so you can have the best Mid-Autumn Festival ever
We also learn how to make vegan, as well as traditional mooncakes
Mid-Autumn Festival has finally rolled around – and we’re suitably excited.
If, like us, you prefer to think of the holiday as an excuse to stuff yourselves with mooncakes, then this round-up is just for you.
From taste-testing Hong Kong’s most OTT mooncakes – from the most luxurious to the most ludicrous – to learning how to make our own mooncakes (in both traditional and vegan varieties), we’ve covered as much ground as possible.
1. Tasting 5 of Hong Kong’s most luxurious mooncakes
If you thought mooncakes couldn’t possibly be a luxury item, think again. Mooncakes from some of Hong Kong’s fanciest hotels and restaurants command top dollar – and they are worth it every cent.
We tasted some of the most decadent mooncakes, from Spring Moon at The Peninsula Hong Kong’s mini egg custard mooncakes to red bean mooncakes with 80-year-old chenpi from Island Shangri-La.
