It has been 15 years since my 1st visit to Takashimaya Square (B2) for Mid-Autumn Festival. And every year without fail, I would make a trip down to sample the mooncakes before deciding which to buy. While I used to try all the traditional baked white lotus paste mooncakes, I have in recent years stick to those from hotels and well-known restaurants or bakeries. As for snowskin ones, it has to look presentable before I would give it a try. I am not a fan of crispy yam mooncakes so gave it, as well as the Hong Kong and Malaysian versions that I found too sweet and oily for my liking, a miss. Similarly for the worst mooncake I have ever tasted, which I'd rather not mention its name.
