Guest Tina Fang Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I don't know if there's another thread on mooncakes, but after approximately 10 minutes of skimming forums without finding one I decided to post one!Most of you probably know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up. This year, it's on the 19th of September.It's around this time (early September/late August) that my family starts stocking up on mooncakes, and receiving mooncakes from friends.I myself like the traditional Chinese mooncakes; circular ones with lotus seed paste in the middle and NO salty yolks in the center. I don't know about you guys, but I detest yolks in my mooncakes, and I flat out refuse to eat my mooncake if i uncover one of those beasts inside like a 5 year old brat.There's lots of different flavors of mooncakes, though. Haagen Daz, I've heard, even has ice cream mooncakes. There are also white lotus seed paste mooncakes, black sesame mooncakes, red bean mooncakes, green bean mooncakes, durian mooncakes, pineapple mooncakes, chocolate mooncakes, mixed nut mooncakes (my mom's favourite) and so much more!What are your favourite types?

Sobayaki Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't really care for mooncakes, I usually just eat 1/4 of one mooncake and that's enough for me; too sweet! That's why I prefer the ones with yolk in them because the saltiness offsets the sweet lotus.But I really want to try the ice skin mooncakes. The skin is like mochi and the filling usually has some kind of fruit in it. And of course, I want to try ice cream mooncakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gypsymeow Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 icecream mooncakes are my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ih1009 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I use to love the ones with the yolk, but now I've come to like only the lotus paste ones. I hated the durian flavoured and mixed nut ones the most. Ice cream moon cakes are so yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JayCy90 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm not really a mooncake person. I used to find the smell of moon cakes off putting. @-) But in the recent years, if I were to eat moon cakes, I will have just a tiny slice of the snowskin moon cakes and I think I have developed an older preference for moon cakes for I love munching slowly on those mixed nuts ones. :\"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest victoliae Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think I am pretty neutral to all of them except I don't like the salty yolks... I don't know, for some reason the texture never rubbed me right I always want to spit it out :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest appleheads Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I love the lotus paste and the red beans are my favorites. I'm not big on those salty eggs on the center either :/ I usually just cut off that part haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebemui Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I prefer the non traditional ones like the ice skin, traditional ones are too sweet for me and I like dislike the ones with the yolks in them. I wish I could find mooncakes that are sugar free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*.:AnGeL*BAbII:.* Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like the original mooncakes with the lotus seed paste too!! If it has yolk in them, then I'll just give the yolk for my mum who loves them hehehehe but yeah, the lotus seed part is the best!!I still haven't tried a snow skin one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green papaya Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I like the lotus seed paste and the salted eggI also like the melon one with the light color filling also used in the wife cakes they sell at the bakeryI never really liked the black bean one it tastes too strong and concentrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest calendar Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ahh I love Red Bean Mooncakes!//I'm not a big fan of Lotus though... and I really hate the ones with the weird crumbly egg yolk thing in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edidi Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I love all moon cake that doesn't have egg yolk in them. It seems to disrupt the flavor for me. My favorite would be the green jade variants and the red bean variants. Love the sweet taste of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
