With the Mid-Autumn Festival<\/strong><\/a> just around the corner, there is perhaps only one thing playing on every gourmand\u2019s mind: mooncakes. And lots <\/em>of them. <\/p>

For those unfamiliar with the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a essentially a Chinese \u201charvest\u201d festival of sorts - somewhat similar to Thanksgiving. Mooncakes are one of the highlights of this annual Chinese festival, especially made more so with the innovative culinary varieties that bakeries in Singapore <\/a>spoil us with each year. <\/p>

Mooncakes, also known as \u2018yue bing\u2019 in Mandarin, are pastries consisting of a sweet, dense filling, traditionally made from lotus paste with a salted duck yolk<\/a> at its center, and wrapped within a thin exterior. Today, mooncakes come in a mind-blowing smorgasbord of flavours, shapes, and colours. The pillow-soft snowskin variety have slowly edged out its traditional savoury counterparts, and fillings with modern fusion flavours <\/a>are quickly becoming a festive favourite.<\/p>

Nonetheless, if you're on the hunt for the best mooncakes to impress your friends and family this festive season, we\u2019ve got you covered with the 10 best mooncakes for you to get your hands on this Mid-Autumn. From traditional white lotus mooncakes with egg yolk by Crowne Plaza Changi Airport <\/strong>(that even comes packaged in a vintage trunk suitcase<\/a>!)\u00a0<\/strong>to more atypical varieties like the Strawberry Lime Tequila Truffle mooncake at Grand Hyatt's Mezza9<\/strong>, we can guarantee there is something for everyone. Browse our gallery above!<\/p>
