Thanks to Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre​ for sending over some mooncakes.
The mooncakes were in a lovely satin purple and green box which has a ribbon at the top.

Inside were two mooncakes: Double yolk white lotus seed paste mooncake and Black date paste and walnut mooncake.

Thanks to Mira Dining for the lovely Moon Festival treats.
I liked the mooncakes because there was Chinese Ham and Chinese date which I haven’t tried before.

Kee Wah 2015 mooncakes
2015-08-13  342 瀏覽
Kee Wah Bakery is a chain of bakery stores in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States, founded in Hong Kong in 1938 by Wong Yip Wing (1911–1999), they are well known in Hong Kong and overseas Chinese communities for their traditional Chinese pastries and delicacies.

It is also famous in the UK because stores in Chinatown would import some and people from HK would send them over. However, in the recent years people have been getting fed up with traditional mooncakes due to health reasons and family sizes are as not big as before.

The traditional sized mooncakes would last you for days because they are quite sickly and during the mooncake season, there are so much mooncakes about that when you share it with people, the chances are that they have already had some.

Before the festival, many bakeries start selling mooncakes which attracts people to buy new and specials flavours for themselves, then nearer the festival, people will start buying mooncakes for others.

Anyway, there are so many varieties at Kee Wah, ranging from traditional to modern ones that there is a mooncake for everyone.

This year have a mix of East and the West with Tea mooncakes such as Earl Grey egg custard mooncake and Jasmine egg custard mooncakes!!

They have also done a joint venture with Ocean Park Conservation Foundation HK where they will donate HKD$5 for every panda themed mooncake set gets sold.

You can also get a cute panda bag for $1 by spending over a certain amount (see in store for details)

Here is part of the collection from Kee Wah that I got my hands on.

My favourite had to be the cute panda tin and the chocolate custard mooncake.

The custard was good because it was rich but not too sweet.
As well as traditional mooncakes, Kee Wah has also launched these cute panda mooncakes in a tin tower.

[Review 3650] Maxim's 2014 colourful mooncakes @ 美心西餅 Maxim's Cake Shop

Tried Maxim's colourful mooncakes series which contains 16 flavours:
Mango, mixed berries, blueberry cheese, devils chocolate crunch, sesame with macadamia, mango chestnut, green bean paste with salty egg yolk, pink guava and apricot.
Taro and coconut, green tea with red beans, mango with grapefuit and greenbean, premium green beans, custard, blueberry duo, angel chocolate crunch and mango crunch.
The two that I wanted to try were the Taro and coconut and pink guava and apricot.
In the end I tried the Taro and coconut which was quite nice.
In the middle, there was taro paste.
The taste was quite coconutty and the taro paired nicely with it.
I would have liked it if the texture wasn't starchy but it is by default because they all contain mung beans.

My colleague gets mooncakes from DHL every year and each year they will surprise you!!!
This year, it came as a form of a big mooncake cushion!
When you unzip the top, it unfolds a DHL plane on top of the moon!
In the other compartment, there is a box of mooncakes made by Maxims.
Again, the usual thick dense white lotus seed paste with a salty egg yolk.
