Moon · Cakes · Tea

By Pauline D. Loh and China Daily Sunday team | China Daily | Updated: 2012-09-17 13:13

Moon · Cakes · Tea

Soon, the mid-autumn moon will shine biggest and brightest, and Chinese all over the world will bask in its glow and take it as another opportunity to feast. Pauline D. Loh and the China Daily Sunday team share their pick of the best mooncakes.

The lotus paste should be so silky it melts in the mouth like soft, sweet butter, with an indulgent mouth-feel that can only come from the best Hunan lotus nuts. The pastry skin must be paper-thin, but delicately covering the cake completely so you do not see unseemly patches of naked filling.

The egg yolk inside should be a pale orange the color of the rising moon, and it should be seeping out just a little oil, moistening the lotus paste as the knife surgically slices the cake into six perfect wedges.

In the pastry of our dreams, every wedge should have a cross-section of yolk so the little cakes live up to their name.

For such attention to detail and perfection, you have to go south, to Hong Kong, where arguably the best mooncakes are made. Although mooncakes are shipped and sent all over the country, no one makes them like the Hong Kong pastry maestros.

You have the award-winning custard mooncakes from the Langham Hotel Hong Kong, where the tiny pastries are cranked up the ladder of sophistication, combining sifted salted egg yolks, fine bean puree and a delicate skin.

But the common man's favorite must still be Maxim's - available at every metro station in Hong Kong and where vouchers for next year's mooncakes start selling even before the crumb's from this year's pastries have been wiped off.

Yep, these vouchers are sold in a sort of tontine system that's been used for so long it's become a part of the household budget.

So are the southern moons better, brighter and sweeter?

Well, it's all about tradition and practice. They've just been doing it a lot longer.

In the austere years before an open economy helped the Chinese mainland catch up with the world, the selling and buying of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival was not a priority. But in the 30 years since, the market has taken a Great Leap Forward.

In fact, it sort of got away, once unfettered.

Mooncake gifts during the season became so extravagantly packaged that it raised Forbidden City eyebrows. The mooncakes are not so ostentatiously boxed now, but the country's couriers are still currently rushing to deliver stacks to clients, friends, family ... and media.

Many of us still remember the urban legend of the single mooncake in a gilded birdcage when the mooncake cost about 18 yuan ($2.80) and the birdcage reportedly cost 88,888 yuan. There were no details as to what flavor the mooncake was.

Fortunately, that sort of over-the-top opulence has since been tempered with a little taste. And talking of taste, you can just about get any flavor these days, much to the chagrin of those (like me) who think a mooncake should still be made of lotus or red bean paste, with just a few variations in-between.

For this feature, we sampled cranberry and red wine, corn and water chestnut, mocha and chestnuts, red bean and mochi (glutinous rice ball), candied winter melon and peanuts, spicy melon seeds, walnuts and ham, Yunnan ham and rose petal jam, jujube paste and walnuts, macadamia nuts and coffee, oolong tea, green tea, red tea ... and some other combinations we prefer to forget.

In short, anything that will stick in a paste has been stuck in the paste. We even have a bakery chain touting its French mooncakes, all baked like tarts. Like the old salty dog would say, there's no tart like a

In the modern compulsive, obsessive need for innovation, and the everyday motto of "let's be different", perhaps it would do good to remember that some traditions are best left untouched. Improved upon, maybe, but in still recognizable forms.

We'll let the pictures do the talking as we take you through some of the more delicious flavors we discovered. You can use our mooncake buying guide for reference.

PS: We paid for all our taste-test mooncakes. You can get similar ones at supermarkets, bakeries, or online. In addition, we have suggested some teas that we think will help wash down those sweet nothings.
