Mid-Autumn festival or Tết Trung Thu is happening in a couple of weeks and you cannot ignore the mooncakes being sold left and right. And this year, my first taste of mooncake was The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Black Forest mooncake.
It was so good that I got a whole box for a friend who’s been missing mooncakes a whole lot.
One mooncake costs 150,000 VND each but can gets pricier when packaged this way.
The three more flavors are Tiramisu with Cream Cheese, Pandan Lotus, and Green Tea Lotus.
This year, the office got it’s mooncake from Hotel Equatorial. Yup, the box is made of leather. It was heavy.
I was hoping for an all non-traditional flavors but who am I kidding?
There’s the Lotus & Dark Cherry, Mixed Spices with 1 egg, Roasted Chicken with 1 egg, and the Green Tea Lotus.
I always look forward to how the new mooncakes each year would look like and the very expensive packaging.
Chocolate Graphics has come out with their own mooncakes. Interesting!
The food in Golden Jade Restaurant is delicious –hopefully, their mooncakes as well.
McDonald’s have amped their prices this year.
What’s your go to brand for mooncakes?
