It’s the annual Mooncake Festival again. Due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, I believe everyone is staying at home and not going out casually. So now, as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, grab a box or two of mooncakes that look exquisite and taste great, and go visit those friends you haven’t seen for a long time~
1. Mooncake brand
Speaking of mooncake brands, children’s shoes from Guangdong and Guangxi may be the right ones. For example, Guangzhou Restaurants, Maxim's and Ronghua are familiar; children in the north may be familiar with Xinghualou and Daoxiangcun, so let's sort out the more famous brands in China at once~ Different brands of mooncakes can be delivered in turn. Haha~
Daoxiangcun : Founded in 1895, it is a time-honored Chinese brand, a famous trademark in Beijing, one of the largest production bases in the domestic traditional food industry, Beijing Daoxiangcun Food Co., Ltd.
Xinghualou: Founded in the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1851), the dessert shop opened by the Cantonese "Sheng Zai" has become quite large today. It is estimated that everyone has bought a lot of the mooncakes it produces.

In addition to traditional mooncakes and Chinese gift cakes, there are also refined cookies. , egg rolls, almond cakes, sesame cakes and processed yuba, etc. The products are sold well in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
2. Internet celebrity mooncakes
2.1 Daoxiangcun series
Origin: Mainland
Packaging: Daoxiangcun brand started in 1773. The packaging is mainly Chinese red. The word "home" highlights the meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion and family reunion, which is very It has Chinese characteristics and is equally suitable for eating by yourself or as a gift. Features of
: It’s a centuries-old brand. Needless to say the taste, people who like it will naturally love it. It is said that when I was a child, the poster only remembered the taste of two kinds of mooncakes, one was Daoxiang Village and the other was Yuen Long Wing Wah. This shows how well-known Daoxiangcun is. Not much else to say, just this brand is enough to make it one of the classic representatives of Mid-Autumn mooncakes.
2.2 Haagen-Dazs series
Product name: Haagen-Dazs Beijing Autumn Invitation to the Moon Ice Cream Mooncake
Origin: Mainland
Packaging: Another product that a foreign brand wants to integrate into the Chinese market. The packaging depends on which series you want. gift box, but overall it’s a bit simpler. Features of
: Speaking of Haagen-Dazs, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Making ice cream can become a multinational enterprise. The author believes that it still has certain merits. And its mooncakes, just like its main product, are all ice cream, with a very novel taste. Different from those snow-skin mooncakes, Haagen-Dazs’ mooncakes actually contain ice cream hahahaha. Therefore, we cannot use the traditional mooncake judging techniques to judge the quality of this mooncake. I can only say that if you like ice cream but don’t like the sweetness of traditional mooncakes, then this mooncake may be a good choice.
2.3 Yuen Long Wing Wah series
Product name: Wing Wah flavored custard mooncake
Place of origin: Hong Kong, China
Packaging: The packaging is similar to Maxim's custard mooncake, except that Wing Wah's gift box uses a gold color scheme , so it looks more upscale. Features of
: I don’t know why the mooncakes with liquid fillings are relatively small, so even if you eat the whole one in one go, you won’t feel too tired.If this mooncake is heated in the microwave, a strong egg yolk aroma will overflow from the moment you cut the mooncake. It is very suitable for sharing with family or friends.
2.4 Maxim's series
Product name: Maxim's Liuxin Custard Mooncake
Place of Origin: Hong Kong, China
Packaging: The packaging does not have too exaggerated settings, it is basically simple. The combination of beige and golden yellow looks simple but not simple as a whole. This may be the reason for Hong Kong's Bian's consistent style. Features of
: The special feature of this mooncake is definitely the egg yolk filling. The author has been eating this mooncake for several years. The taste does not have the greasy feeling of traditional mooncakes. Overall, it is very smooth and smooth. It was basically the same in the past. It is eaten as breakfast...but please note that the size of this mooncake may not be as big as the traditional mooncake, it is a small and delicate style.
2.5 Maxim's Double-Reed White Lotus Seed Mooncake
Product Name: Maxim's Double Yolk White Lotus Seed Mooncake
Origin: Hong Kong, China
Packaging: Iron box packaging, heavier than the Maxim's Liquid Mooncake above, suitable for gifting Elders who are older prefer traditional mooncakes. Features of
: Double yolk white lotus paste. Because it is double yolk, the size will be larger. The egg yolk tastes sweet and salty. It will taste better if paired with a cup of oolong or black tea. In addition, the egg yolk does not seem to be "deformed". The fillings in the mooncakes purchased by the poster in the past are basically very round and full.
3. Written at the end
