Mooncakes are a common norm during the Mid-Autumn festival - there are like what fruitcakes are to Westerners during Thanksgiving. While the idea of savouring centuries-old recipes are more traditional, today many Malaysians prefer to buy them off the rack. Not only does it save time, but the markets offer so much more variety, too. From adventurous snow-skin mooncakes to quirky infused durian or tea flavours, it is no wonder we get spoilt over these sweet goodies. If you haven’t decided on what to buy, get ready to sink your teeth as we introduce some mooncakes that you must try this year!

What better way to enjoy high tea with mooncakes? That being said, Purple Cane is markedly well-known for its comforting food and the mooncakes are of no expectation either.
