澳門十月初五月餅 October 5th Mooncakes (純正紅豆沙 Red Bean Pase (1))

if you are looking for authentic taste mooncakes, stay away from this product then. Not only it doesn't taste like normal moon cake at all it's adding many artificial sugar糖精 and preservatives to the cakes, so stay away and i wish i can return them though i have opened 2 ofr them

I love black sesame, and I like moon cakes, but I will not buy this again. It's almost $10 for one cake. In hindsight, I could have spent $20 and got three more cakes of the same size in a metal tin, had I bought a different brand. In any case, the cake was okay. The filling was mildly nutty from the black sesame and walnuts, and it was quite sweet. Most moon cakes are extremely sweet, making them all the better to drink a bitter tea with as you eat your piece. The outside shell was not stale, though it left much to be desired. In other words, the dough was flavorless and perhaps a little too oily, even by moon cake standards. It was also faintly squished due to the fact that the flimsy box was not well packed, which leads me to my biggest gripe.Again, this is one cake that comes in a tiny cardboard box. If it is not packed well, your cake might arrive crushed. Thankfully, my moon cake survived shipping mostly unscathed, but the box clearly didn't. I'm so glad I got this as a festive treat for myself and my kids, and that I wasn't giving this as a gift to a relative or friend. :-/

This is a shelf-stable food-like product. It's comfort food if you had international students that got you hooked on such stuff. It's more calories than you should eat at one sitting, but eases the stress of exams, break-ups, and the room mate who stays up all night instant messaging Japan and listening to rock music on their headphones so loud that you can hear it too. It brings back memories of College.

I liked the variety.Moon cakes are smaller than another brand I ordered twice: and previously reviewed. At $30, this brand is pricey! Oh yeah, if you don’t read traditional, long form Chinese characters, as I no longer can, you are on your about guessing which cake is what of the four kinds. Fortunately I was able to recognize each as a person of Chinese descent who grew up with the Holiday in Hong Kong. May not appeal to those trying them for the first time!

The only thing they could do better would be to add a translation piece so you know which flavor is which if you can read the language :-)

My kids are in Chinese Immersion and just learned about the Mid Autumn Festival, so we wanted to try these. I thought they were great! Green tea especially. They're kind of like a fig Newton, but much prettier. The kids were so-so about the taste of the filling, but liked the pastry.

As some of the reviews have mentioned，the cakes are much smaller and pricey. If you have tasted authentic moon cakes，you will be very disappointed. They are just sugary tastes. The strawberry moon cake tastes nothing like strawberry flavor. All of them taste similar with only a tinge of the flavor for the said fruit or tea. The after taste is just sugar. Don't recommend it.

I generally like fruit flavored moon cakes but this is definitely not it for me. tastes way too artificial.
