Mooncake comes in all kinds now with different textures and outlooks.
In the past, traditional baked mooncakes used to be the only type of mooncakes that we can get but when public taste changes, bakers and suppliers have also been inventing and introducing a variety of mooncakes to satisfy the market needs. Other than the taste, we are also opting for mooncakes that are good-looking to spice up our feed (:P). So, what are some of the beautifully crafted mooncakes that we can get for this year’s mid-autumn festival? Here’s a list of mooncake shops that you should consider:
