The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival,
Probably because the moon is exceptionally round on this day,
In today's faster and faster pace of life,
The word reunion is even more precious to those who are wandering outside.
Xiaobian grew up in Harbin, when he was a child, he ate mooncakes except for Lao Dingfeng, and did not know any brand. Maybe in the struggle of side food and Autumn Forest, there are mooncakes made by themselves. Most of the mooncakes in the north are improved from Beijing-style mooncakes, so the fillings are also similar. When I was young, I didn't think that the five-ren mooncake was unpalatable, but it was really difficult to accept that there was green and red silk in the filling, but some friends still liked this flavor ~ gradually grew up and ate mooncakes everywhere, some of which were very delicious, and some of which were a little difficult to accept. The elders of the family will still buy a little traditional date paste, lotus paste, Sichuan shortbread every year, and always sigh that they have eaten so many kinds of mooncakes, or old-fashioned mooncakes are delicious, maybe this is the custom.
We pride ourselves on being a big country not only because of its vast territory, but also because of the differences in eating habits in various places, which also shows the colorful colors of various cultures, and the special foods of any region are not finished in one or two sentences, but we only talk about the mooncakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Even this kind of dim sum cannot be covered in one article, so we have selected some representative flavors and brands to illustrate. Friends in the north can also choose some flavors that have not been eaten to try! (However, the following recommended mooncakes, even if the editor himself sees some of them, he can't help but sigh, is this really a mooncake... ）
The types of mooncakes are divided into Beijing-style, Cantonese-style, Su-style, Dian-style, Chao-style, Ha-style, Sichuan-style, Jin-style, etc., in addition to special mooncakes such as coconut paste, milk yellow, chocolate, ice cream, quicksand cheese and so on. In view of the length and audience, this special topic xiaobian focuses on the representative models of Beijing, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Dian and some special mooncakes, while the common and shallow-history fillings such as bean paste and chestnut rong will not be repeated.

Although Cantonese-style mooncakes occupy most of the domestic mooncake market, for northerners, the memories of the early years are probably only Five Ren MoonCakes, and the impression of this "Wuren Mooncake" is Beijing-style mooncakes. But the fact is that there are five-kernel mooncakes everywhere, and the Beijing-style mooncake filling is relatively single, with five kernels being the most common. To say that the representative of the Beijing-style traditional mooncake, the red /white is the uncrowned king, the red and white are distinguished according to the color of the crust, and the process of making the crust is not the same, the red is the hot dough, and the self-white is the cold water dough.
The traditional Beijing-style mooncake skin is thick and hard and single, in view of this impression, the image of the Beijing-style mooncake in the hearts of most friends is difficult to climb the list for a long time, but this Beijing-style snack has been improved a long time ago, and now the good red/white cake skin is crisp, the filling is slightly sweet and not greasy, and the moon can be worshipped and the gods can be comforted. The more well-known brands are "Beijing Daoxiangcun" and "GuixiangCun", both of which are Chinese time-honored brands, while among the various Daoxiang Villages, only "Sanhe" is marked by Chinese time-honored brands. In addition to the well-known walnut kernels, melon kernels, green silk, red silk, etc., the improved red/white filling should best represent its Beijing-style identity should be the addition of osmanthus flavor.

Yuen Long Ronghua is known as the first white lotus mooncake in the 1960s, and there is also a saying that it was the first chinese time-honored "Lotus Xiang Lou", and the history of examination is beyond the ability of the editor, but Yuen Long Ronghua's egg yolk lotus mooncake is indeed famous, and the quality is not to mention more.
For Guangzhou friends, egg yolk lotus rong has to mention Guangzhou restaurant, which is also a chinese time-honored brand, Guangzhou restaurant has now developed into a large domestic catering group and opened a number of high-end hotels, assets of hundreds of millions, the national catering industry top ten. Its double white lotus paste is also an excellent reputation, well-selected ingredients, authentic taste, worth a try.

Dian-style mooncakes are naturally the characteristics of the southwest region, although some Cantonese-style Su-style mooncakes also have meat, but for people who are not happy with meat, cloud leg mooncakes can be regarded as staple food, meat pieces are really visible, the filling is sweet and salty, and the crust is crisp and soft. Although there are also Dian-style mooncakes filled with flowers now, Xiaobian feels that flower cakes are very good, and there is no need to lean on the mooncakes.
The earliest name of the cloud leg mooncake was "four two lumps", which was named because the weight of a single one was 4 two (about 125g, the old name was 1 pound = 16 two). In the early years of the Republic of China, the boss of "JiQingxiang" developed a hard-shell cloud leg mooncake, which has since become a special food in Yunnan, and JiQingxiang is also the representative brand of the current cloud leg mooncake, and the products are sold to many places in the world.

In addition to the above four representative mooncakes, many provinces and cities have unique mooncakes, such as Shanxi double synthesis of Guo Dulin mooncakes, Inner Mongolia's Fengzhen mooncakes, etc. have distinct local colors, Xiaobian one by one may really have to sleepless tonight, and then look at those mooncakes that have been popular in the mainland in recent years.
Cream mooncakes
Butter, cheese powder, light cream, condensed milk, coconut milk and other raw materials are the main components of its flavor.

Indeed, The Peninsula Hong Kong's milk yellow buns are famous, and it's no surprise that its milk yellow mooncakes are so hot. The price is indeed slightly higher, and the title is clear – "mini" mooncakes, 35g each.
The same Hong Kong's Maxim's mooncakes have also attracted attention in the past two years, and Maxim's mooncakes are also one of the three major mooncake brands in Hong Kong (Tai Pan, Maxim's, Yuen Long Ronghua). Maxim's mooncake signature is also a creamy yellow mooncake, and it seems that Hong Kong friends prefer this kind of filling. Meixin mooncake in the flow of heart milk yellow is the best variety sold, but there are also many netizens who can not react at all...
And the cream flavor also has a lower price snack brand, Xiaobian studied the ingredient list, considering the difference between margarine, Nestlé light cream and president light cream, it will not be described in detail for this type of snack. Xiaobian found 2 kinds of Guangzhou restaurant's milk yellow mooncake for your reference, one is the original milk yellow, the other is cheese quicksand milk yellow, friends who do not like cheese can choose the former, if you like cheese, you may wish to try the latter. In short, the mainland brand wins in the price, is not the real taste is not as good as Hong Kong, friends will try it themselves.

Dove's chocolate mooncake is a new product just listed at the end of August, the eyes are naturally aimed at the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, although the Mid-Autumn Festival is not better than Tanabata, but as long as it is a festival between men and women are indispensable to the figure of chocolate, if you can not spend the holiday with your boyfriend / girlfriend, it is also a good idea to send a box of chocolate mooncakes.
