With the prepackaged moon cakes, I always microwave them for 10 or 20 seconds with a wet paper towel on top. Then I remove the paper towel and let the cake sit for a bit to cool. They're just better that way.
Lisa if you can find them you should give the snowskin mooncakes a try. The skin is almost mochi like and usually have interesting flavours. Plus those are fine cold
I remember being next to a Chinese mom offering me a moon cake and other snacks. To be polite I didn't eat too much off the snacks, afterwards I realized in order to be polite and make her happy I should have eaten a lot :/ I don't think that that nice lady and her son flying from Korea to Shanghai 2 years ago will ever know but I am sorry, I did like your snacks!
This is so sweet. I hate when I look back on a moment and wish I would’ve done something differently. But I’m sure that she appreciated that you tried the snacks just the same. :)

My dad's mother owns a moon cake shop where they make homemade moon cakes everyday. When I was little I had the honour to go visit their house to see the huge oven and huge trays lined with moon cake doughs and huge bowls of different fillings. I have to say the ones with a whole egg yolk in them tastes amazing! ☺️
I Love Moon Cakes!!! I'm an older lady now,.. buuuut when I was young I had a boyfriend from Cuba who taught me all about the awesomeness of our local Asian markets here in OKC,OK. The first thing I was immediately drawn to was their different bakery type of buns and sweets. I also tried a Moon cake for the first time in my life and I absolutely fell in love with softer fillings although the mixed nut is also good. That was was back in 1988. For me, nowadays, the local Asian market is just another one of those common everyday stops that one makes for groceries on the way home from work and it all started with a Moon cake & pork bun 33yrs ago. ✨ I've had the privilege watching the Asian markets in our community (OKC,OK) grow and prosper over those 33 yrs. 💕
1. I'm glad to see someone else on Team "Eat a whole moon cake by yourself" 😂 I would eat an entire box alone if they weren't so expensive. 2. I also agree that the moon cakes with nuts aren't as good. It sounds like it should be tasty but it's always got a strange taste...

@@kat3217 well since the intention of the festival is to wish others great fortune and prosperity in life. Just think of each calorie as a blessing or good energy.

@@Katexglowy the lotus seed ones just taste like sugary paste, it can't be that bad. You should try one with abalone and nuts, they're surprisingly good 😉.
I’ve tried it and I didn’t like it. Both times. Now that I discover there is a durian version, I will definitely go back and try it. The first two times were extremely sweet. It tasted artificially sweet.
I'm terminally ill. I'm not telling you all this for sympathy. I'm just mentioning this in hopes someone will gift me a box of these because omg I need to try them before I die!!! 😲😏😋😊
It's not that good in my opinion and I am Asian. Our family use to throw them away when given to us on new year. So yeah not worth the calories. I guess either you like them or you don't
The yolk is my favourite part. Cant have something with just one flavour. I save the yolk to eat by itself at the end with a little bit of the lotus left. Maybe change brands? Some brands have yolks that arent as salty.
Those are so thick and dry but honestly I really like Chinese moon cake a lot, I actually like it better than most other kinds of moon cake. I like they way it’s cooked
I remembered eating mooncakes that my vietnam classmate bought to class...I don't remember why we(my class at 14 years old) hated it so badly but someone said that this particular mooncake was eaten with porridge so I am confused. Also, just saying, I live in Singapore so we do like mooncakes, just that the particular one that he brought from vietnam was....different and questionably weird to our palates. Edit:Nvm I realised that they added mungbean paste and salted egg yolk, which was different from the Chinese mooncakes.
I remembered last year that I ate alot of mini moon cakes (they were discounted off after the festival). I get to have some at tea time or breakfast because it's been years since I last had them (they were expensive, that's why 🙃)
When I was in college my Vietnamese roommate introduced me to these. It had the egg yolk in the center as well as some orange flavoring. The flavor combination wasn’t exactly something I was accustomed to but I still finished it off.
Could u do a cooking voiceover in Vietnamese my parents speak Vietnamese and they love ur cooking videos and have trouble following the recipe in English. (The moon cakes are really good 😊) love ur vids! Keep going!!!
My family and I (not Asian) wanted to try some out after learning about the holiday, so I found and bought a box with the egg yolk. My family didn’t like it - I think they got weirded out from the egg yolk, but I liked it! I now try to get a small box for myself every year!
This reminds me of the days that me and my sister spent days and nights making mooncakes with my aunt. It was fun and also was a nightmare. The process of making mooncake is not hard, it is just that we had to make A LOT of mooncakes. We also make a lot of money from our relatives and neighbors.
Yesss classic lotus paste with egg yolk reigns supreme. Also nothing breaks my heart more when excitedly cutting into a mooncakes only to find nuts in it
ahhh... everytime i eat mooncakes it brings me back my childhood in Taipei, my dad is Vietnamese and would always buy durian mooncakes for the autumn festival

It is depend on the one who make the mooncake. Some makers make the filling very dry, some very soft. But usually, you eat it while drinking tea.
