The box of Red Bean, Red Date, and Black Sesame-Coated Nuts and Seaweed and Walnut mooncakes will delight those with a sweet tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of mooncakes available, beyond the traditional ones?
While traditional mooncakes with lotus seed paste and salted egg yolks are classic, Hong Kong's mooncake scene is rich with variety. Several modern twists include egg custard, chocolate, and even vegan and low-sugar options. Many hotels and bakeries also introduce innovative flavours and "snowy" mooncakes with a mochi-like texture that are served chilled.
When should I start ordering mooncakes, and can I buy them individually?
For the most popular and coveted mooncakes, especially those from luxury hotels and renowned restaurants, it's essential to pre-order well in advance of Mid-Autumn Festival. Many places offer early-bird discounts. While mooncakes are typically sold in beautiful gift boxes, some bakeries and supermarkets may offer them individually, which is a great way to sample different flavours.
How much do mooncakes typically cost in Hong Kong, and what is the reason for the price variation?
The price of mooncakes can vary significantly, ranging from affordable options to luxury gift sets. A box from a hotel or well-known restaurant can cost several hundred Hong Kong dollars. The price often reflects the quality of ingredients, the complexity of the flavour, and particularly the elaborate and high-end packaging, as mooncakes are often given as gifts.
