The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most beloved festivals in East and Southeast Asia when the moon is at its biggest, brightest and fullest, and mooncakes are traditional must-eat Chinese pastries on the day. They are a type of snack or dessert pastry with a sweet or savory filling, which depends on the ingredients. The Peninsula Boutique has launched various mooncakes this year, offering different stuffings, flavors, and crusts for everyone’s favourite taste and texture and here are 9 amazing mooncakes recommended by Give Gift Boutique.
