Unusual mooncakes you should try for Mid

Michelin-starred Shang Palace gets creative this year with a series of new quirky flavours for their mooncakes, including the Shang Palace x Hsinchu Fuyuan peanut butter mooncakes, Shang Palace x Hsinchu Fuyuan black sesame mooncakes, Shang Palace coconut and pandan leaf snow skin mooncakes, and the Shang Palace vegetarian mooncakes duet which introduces a mini red date paste mooncake with pine nuts and mini golden lotus seed paste mooncake. Shang Palace also has a Kids DIY Crystal Mooncake Set this year, so families can celebrate the festival at home and make their very own crystal mooncakes. Each kit comes with a Mid-Autumn lantern paper toy, ingredients for four flavours of crystal mooncakes, moulds, and cooking instructions.

The popular mini matcha mooncake made with an aromatic matcha crust, red bean paste, mochi, and a zesty yuzu centre is also back. Being one of the best sellers since its launch in 2020, these round little treats will be perfect for Japanese dessert lovers.
