    Everyone’s favourite vegan French patisserie is joining in on the Mid-Autumn Festival reverie this year. Bien Caramelise‘s first ever plant-based mooncake set comes in a set of four original flavours priced at $238. The ingredients offer all the deep intermingling sweet and savoury flavours you expect from a good moon pastry, but with reduced fat and sugar content, being made from nutritionally dense and raw ingredients like organic raw cane sugar, coconut oil, cashews, and maple syrup. Our favourites are the tangy Pineapple & Apple Jam and subtly decadent Local Young Ginger & Osmanthus. For $468, you can get a tea pairing gift set which matches premium MoreTea tea leaves with each flavour. Order early for a 20% discount until August 15, and pick up until September 11.

    Kee Wah Bakery

    One of the most recognizable and long-lasting bakeries in Hong Kong (it was established in 1938!), you cannot go wrong with the wide selection at Kee Wah Bakery. For a traditional yet lighter taste mooncake that has endured generations, the Kee Wah Egg Custard Mooncakes ($2,340 for 12 pieces) in Hong Kong are unbeatable. The silky smooth custard inside flaky, golden pastry, wrapped in their signature rabbit gift box, symbolise longevity. For a modern take, the bakery has launched an Assorted Nuts Mooncake with Dried Figs ($275 for 8 pieces), which features specially-selected imported Turkish figs mixed with dates, apricots, cashews, almonds, and cranberries, appealing to both Eastern and Western tastes.

    Declared the best by many, Wing Wah were the first to use white lotus seed paste as a filling for their mooncakes. Thus creating a traditional Hong Kong mooncake. It avoids the sickly sweet taste and heaviness of other mooncakes, instead providing a light taste and enchanting aroma, topped with high-quality egg yolks – and you have the option of one, two, or three! They also offer the classic Red Bean Paste Mooncake ($338 for 4) for those who prefer to stick to the traditions.

Another hot favourite is their Red Bean Paste Mooncake with Mandarin Peel, combining the softness and sweetness of the red bean with the bitterness and tartness of mandarin for a kick!

    Upscale Ningbo cuisine restaurant Yong Fu first arrived in Hong Kong from Shanghai in 2019.

    This old school neighbourhood favourite is one of the few places in Hong Kong that still handmakes and bakes its Hong Kong mooncakes fresh for Mid-Autumn festival. Their signature mung bean paste with chicken fat is a flavour and style not seen often in Hong Kong, but it ensures that there are huge lines outside their doors during the festive season. If you can’t make it for Mid-Autumn, you can also drop by their bakery and try out their black sesame cakes, flaky pastries, and peanut mochis.

    Conspiracy Chocolate

    You probably won’t find a less conventional mooncake in Hong Kong this year than the one from Conspiracy Chocolate. In fact, cake is a bit of a loose word here. The vegan, low sugar Conspiracy Mooncake ($488 for five pieces plus cacao tea) is inspired by the white wrapping of snowskin mooncakes, but is actually crafted from their own white chocolate. The filling is made up of dark chocolate, almond, and red date ganache. Imitating the lucky gold yolk is a tart yuzu and mango jam which has been seasoned with toasted green Sichuan pepper, so that it walks the border between sweet and savoury as you’d expect from a traditional mooncake. Refrigerated, the mooncakes last for up to two months, and should be served at room temperature.
