There are two different mooncakes in this box.
I forgot to take a picture because the when I sliced it, the yolk was oozing with golden oil that everyone was excited and finished the mooncake before I even got a chance to take pictures.
The other one was mixed nuts which was a nice change from lotus paste.
It was sweet and nutty with a good mouthfeel to it.

[Review 6246] Worst mooncake I had this year 2017 @ 嘉麟樓 Spring Moon

It didn't have an appetizing smell to start with.
after microwaving it for 10 seconds, the room stunk.
baffled with this pungent odour I took a bite and had to spit it out because it was that bad.
the butter was really rancid and the filling didn't taste right.

Custard mooncakes from Macau
2017-09-08  94 瀏覽
My Brother went to Macau and got me these mooncakes as a souvenir.There are eight in a box.
According to the leaflet, this brand has been around since 2008.
The pastry on the outside is made of puff pastry so it is better to be reheated in an oven.
After it was reheated there was a fragrant eggy smell and the filling was crumbly and nice.

L'Eclair de Genie Mid-Autumn collection 2017
2017-09-02  35 瀏覽
Since the opening L'Eclair de Genie at Pacific Place and Prince’s Building in autumn 2015, there are now branches in Kwun Tong, Olympic and Tai Koo.
For Mid Autumn festival, they have launched two festive eclairs and limited edition Mid-Autumn festival mooncakes.

The man himself Christophe Adam was in Hong Kong to showcase the new collection.
No 286 Chestnut Umeboshi is filled with vanilla mascarpone cream and chestnuts from France, following a layer of umeboshi confit which gives it a salty kick to complement the chestnut.
It is garnished with a white chocolate golden rabbit, golden leaves and chestnut cream to give it that Autumn festive character.

No 287 Red bean sesame is very buttery and a popular pick because it is infused with smooth red bean cream and sesame crisp garnished with a rabbit and lotus pattern on pink.

La Lune Mooncake gift box are 4 colourful milk or dark chocolate shells filled with goodies.
 0 讚好

Two contain fruit jellies (lemon yuzu lemongrass, coconut pandan) and the other two are caramelized nuts (caramelized hazelnuts, almonds).

The jellies which appear to be wrapped in plastic are 100% edible because the wrapping is just rice paper.

Fruit jellies (pate de fruit) are a traditional French sweet treats that are made with natural fruit juice.

It's nice to get non traditional mooncakes made with mooncake pastry and not the white pastry.
The one here is a coconut mooncake, inside it was filled with shredded coconut that was quite dense and not too sweet.
That's quite a lot of coconut in this mooncake!!

Got to try them because my colleagues were given them.
They were sweet and sickly with a rich salted egg yolk in the middle which oozed with orange oil!

::::TVB mooncakes by Maxims::::::

I love TVB and we had TVB in Europe, they started off with video rentals for TV series but now they have satellite channels where they sometimes broadcast stock series so we get to watch them earlier before they are broadcasted in HK.
Subscribers would get a TVB calendar every year that has the current Miss HK pageants on the front page.

Anyway, someone had mooncakes from TVB so we were really lucky to try them.

They are made by Maxims.
In the box there are two flavours:
White lotus seed paste and egg yolk and lotus seed paste and egg yolk.

Basically they taste the same as the ordinary Maxim's mooncakes which are sweet and sickly.

This year, my colleagues shared it with me and it was the red bean and orange peel flavour.
It was delicious because it was not too sweet with a strong orange peel taste and the mooncake was gone in a flash hence I didn't get a chance for pictures.
From the labelling I believe they are from Kee Wah Bakery.
