Satisfy Your Mooncake Cravings This Coming Mid-Autumn Festival with MXT Mooncakes

The Mid-Autumn Festival, which will be celebrated on September 27, 2015, is almost upon us. You know what that means... MOONCAKES! In Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival remains to be one of the most important festivals dating back over 3,500 years. As one of the festival's hallmark traditions, you would normally find boxes of mooncakes in every Chinese family's household.

Mooncakes are believed to bring about luck and prosperity. The cake's round shape is said to symbolize completeness and unity. As a part of this longstanding tradition, Chinese families usually give out boxes of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn festival to family and friends as an expression of love or a wish for prosperity.

I had the opportunity to get a box of MXT's Mini Mooncakes to try and I found them pretty good. I was able to try 6 different mooncake flavors, and here is how I would rank them from what I found to be the most delicious:

1. Egg Custard
2. Lotus (with egg yolk)
3. Monggo (with egg yolk)
4. Ube
5. Chocolate
6. Mixed Nuts

I particularly liked the egg yolk inside the Lotus and Monggo mooncakes. It's certainly my favorite part of each bite. It's also why I ranked the Egg Custard mooncake on top. Yes, guilty!
