Tai Thong Mooncake

Now this, is my absolute favourite store for mooncakes during the mid-​autumn festival season. Having ordered this for more than 16 years consecutively (and still counting), I can vouch that the taste, quality and even size of the mooncakes remain largely consistent throughout the years.
The mooncakes come in traditional packaging of a plain white cardboard box with” (Tai Tong) printed in red on it. None of those fancy artsy-​fartsy designs that we see nowadays. I know it may not be the best reasoning, but I like to think that the best stuff always come in the most basic of packaging. Simply because they spend less on the gimmicks and more on the ingredients.
Once you sink your teeth into these mooncakes, you’ll definitely know that it is really authentic and quality food. The lotus paste is smooth and silky, so thick that it appears to be slightly chewy. It provides an interesting texture that is a joy to chew and consume. The baked skin is a rich brown that is thin yet strong enough to hold in the fillings and retain its shape. The flavours become more distinct and fragrant the more you chew it, and sometimes, I leave the skin for last just so I can slowly savour its goodness.
