Choosing

Choose with the recipient in mind

The filling shapes most of a mooncake's flavour and texture. Lotus paste is smooth, red bean is earthier, sesame is nutty and salted egg yolk adds a savoury centre.

Pandan Gula Melaka brings a Southeast Asian pandan aroma and palm-sugar depth, while bakkwa adds pork jerky to a savoury mooncake style.

  1. 1Choose a filling by the recipient's taste.
  2. 2Decide whether salted egg yolk suits them.
  3. 3Review ingredients and allergens before ordering.
