For our family it has to be salted egg with lotus paste (white or brown), Cantonese flavour and nothing else. We tried many fancy styles and never liked them. The 2-yolk and lotus in Sydney is over $60 per tin (4 pieces) this year, getting more and more expensive.

Haha, True true, Wuren moon cake is a super traditional one and we didn't like it when we were kids. And nowadays, it becomes popular again for some reason and it really bring us the memory of childhood and hometown. Very fun video!! Like it very much! 谢谢 Blondie！

Double salted egg yolk with red/yellow lotus seed paste is the king of mooncakes. Perfect blend of sweetness, creaminess and saltiness.

[@brennanpui8755]

Not sure if it's just me, I can't really enjoy any mooncake without tea. They go so well together!

[@HansArtnCulture]

You really should try some big Chinese bakery brand. Strongly recommend Meixin /Maxim Moon cake. It’s a Hong Kong brand and makes the Cantonese moon cake. Delicious! 🤗

[@szewei85]

Haha Maxim is very famous in Kuala Lumpur housing the biggest Cantonese population ever in Malaysia😄😆

[@ericliume]

According to your boyfriend's tastes, I think he would like the Cantonese style mooncakes more. They are softer and sweeter. He should like 豆沙(red bean paste), 枣泥(dates paste), 椰蓉(coconut), etc.

[@cfchooi]

Agree with this. Come to Malaysia for some Cantonese mooncakes - the soft pastry types (needs refrigeration). I think he'll even like the durian ones here.

Since it is only once a year, you cannot go cheap on the mooncakes. I used to shop for the cheaper ones but now I always get the expensive traditional kind. Even if it is expensive but it is worth it.

Nice content all the time, different themes, places etc. Amy great. Been watching yr videos since you first launch your videos.

Hi Amy and Derk!!🙋🏻‍♀️ So awesome to see you bought a variety of mooncakes to try! I am not a fan of the nuts flavour myself.

I was offered one last night but it was rather frozen... so it tasted like an ice block. I have had thawed one and it was rather nice when served properly.

There's other types of mooncakes than ones with baked brown shells. Different regions and localities all over China has their own versions. Shanghai area has a flaky pastry type. There's many more types with different shells and fillings, sweet or savory. There's no "traditional" ones as you stated, but what's traditional to the different areas in China.

[@kongkong1364]

Like Easter eggs, it will be half priced after the festivals. Also tins of moon cakes used to be the great swapping gift game where I may have 10 tins from different friends and you would try to give them away and pretend that you bought it just for them. If you are really unlucky someone could pass you last year's stock. For western taste a chocholate fudge filling should be quite acceptable.

Thanks for your efforts in trying a range of moon cakes. I'll probably just try the haagen daz.

[@sleepandrelaxation3395]

Traditional mooncakes are usually taken with a nice pot of chinese tea. As the mooncakes are usually quite sweet and "heavy", pairing with tea makes it perfect. Sit with your family, sip some tea and have mooncake while admiring the beautiful full moon. So mooncake is just one part of the whole mid-autumn festival experience.

[@SparklerMs]

I recommend trying snowskin mooncakes next time. I think you and Derk would enjoy those more🙂

Not sure if that's correct but the lotus with salted egg seem low quality when I see Amy cut it. I just ate one lotus with salted egg. Another thing is mooncake made by western company is incomparable to traditional company that produce mooncake.
