Mid-Autumn Day is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It’s the best opportunity for family reunions. People spend time with family and friends, participate in any appreciation moon and perhaps most importantly, eat moon cakes. Considered a staple in this time of year, these round cakes are quite small in size (about ten centimeters), but can pack a big flavor punch. And if I have to prove one, no doubt been a more perfect time than now! You'll find them everywhere here in Shanghai, but there are certain places that rise typical of the moon cake in a dish. Traditional flavors are being replaced by new alien combinations to tempt the palate and the mind boggle. So grab a cup of tea and chow down on some of the most delicious moon cakes in the city.
Oddly enough, some of the best deals on Shanghai moon cake can be found in luxury hotels. Case in point is the Hongqiao Marriott, which offers six fillings: traditional red bean paste, white lotus seeds, nuts, yogurt, cranberries, taro and my personal favorite, coconut cream. These are primarily designed to be given as gifts and you can choose between two specially packaged gift boxes: one includes 16 moon cakes for 268 RMB and includes 12 other RMB 188 moon cakes, which include all varieties of taste. This is a great place to sample both traditional and more modern tastes.
While the Whampoa Club dinner service suffers from mixed reviews, there is very little difference that this "Three on the Bund" The user is the king of the moon cakes. Known for mixing things in the flavor department, the moon cakes are not for the fainthearted. This year, six varieties including some tamer options like bean paste with walnuts, chestnut paste and the traditional egg yolk lotus seed paste. For the adventurous, try and Osmanthus Longjing tea, truffles and bacon or nuts mixed with ham moon cakes.
David Laris has gained a reputation for food, so why would their moon cakes to be different? As with all its restaurants, Laris likes to put a touch of traditional style and makes it almost perfectly with the flavors like pink and red bean, chocolate, taro and coconut double. I definitely recommend their gift boxes if you happen to have a Chinese couple and are looking to make an impression (and willing to put some serious money.) Games include: Nine chocolate moon pies for 138 RMB, 36 moon cakes for 260 RMB, 36 chocolate moon pies (with half bottle of champagne) for 728 RMB or for a real deployment, you can try chocolate moon cake 144-piece box for 1688 RMB. With that many moon cakes, which is sure to be the hit of the game (home or office or ...).
Since the Mid Autumn Festival is drawing near. If you are in or going to Shanghai, may be you can go to these place. I hope it is useful for you. Enjoy yourself and have a good holiday. And also buy some moon cakes as the present for a friend is a nice choice.
