Here are my brief thoughts on the mooncakes, Lets START!


Canton - i

HK Light Lotus Paste W Single Egg Yolk ( Less Sugar) - This is really good & it's really suitable for people who doesn't like something too sweet, I really enjoy this.
Organic Charcoal Skin W Coffee Paste - The Coffee Taste ain't too strong, very settle, texture is good not too sticky.
Snow Skin Musang Skin Durian - Bitter Durian Mooncake, I don't take durian but I Smell the difference
Snow Skin D24 Durian - I'm kinda ok with this one as its sweet and not too heavy.

Purple Cane

White Tea Purple Potato Lotus Paste - The Lotus Paste was blended with White tea, it's a lil less mainstream and it's not too sweet nor bitter great taste for older generations. The Skin is made out from Purple Potato.
Green Tea Skin White Lotus Paste - Ok, I might be a lil bias on this because I love Green tea. It may not be as bitter as normal green tea but the taste of green tea with it's unique texture of the paste. If you love green tea you may love this too! ;)
Puer Tea, Dang Gui, Chinese Wolfberry, assorted nut paste Mooncake - That was a mouth full! Anyways, this wasn't my slice of mooncake. If you like herbal taste and nutty texture, this is definitely worth checking out!

Leong Yin

Intense Wheatgrass Jujube Splender - mild wheatgrass taste, sweet too.
Ballad of The Moon - Custard Filling & the Middle is Custard mix with egg yolk, Milky taste & taste similar to Butter Scotch too.
Lunar Delight - 'Dodol' Like Texture, not the super sticky type don't get me wrong. Very Strong Coffee taste, they used coffee powder, this is what I call Bitter Sweet.

Foh San

Cappuccino Mooncake - Very mild cappuccino taste, my taste buds weren't impressed.
White Lotus Paste W Yolk - I don't know if it's me or this taste a lil like yam? But I really enjoy this.
