We were indeed privileged to be able to taste such a variety of moon cakes this year!
Usually, I am not into sweet stuff but I guess my weakness is moon cakes: the traditionally bakes ones... .
Peony Jade:
Love their crispy yam moon cakes! Daddy and I love their traditional baked ones too!
We also tried the traditional moon cakes from Raffles Hotel, though they are more famous for their snow-skin champagne truffle ones.
Verdict: Still prefer Peony Jade

Crispy yam moon cakes from Shi Zhen
Verdict : Value-for-money! The filling was literally spilling over when we bit into the moon cakes. Excellent stuff!

Fok Shan Moon Cakes from Ipoh Malaysia. Aunt Di and Aunt Margaret bought these when they were there 2 weeks back.
Verdict : Very good! The lotus paste was smooth and the durian-scented traditionally baked moon cake was something special. And the best part, they cost half the price after conversion! Hee.. but the journey there is a little far.

Shangri-la! Our favourite!
Verdict : Smooth and very tasty and not too sweet! :) Downside, rather pricey.

Still waiting to get my hands on these:
1) Harbour City's Moon Tarts! Orders will arrive this weekend; just in time for the Mid Autumn Festival.
2) Home's Favourites' Durian Moon Cakes (It's the black one!!)
3) Any thing pink for C! She just wants a pink moon cake. Aunt Margaret has offered to get it for Cheryl. :)
