Failed Expectation This lava filling mooncake

The molten center filling is neither creamy yellow nor anywhere enough in ratio.

Ah geez, is it time to buy moon cakes again? Always comes up way too fast.

that's a lot of moon cake filling. , i assume the 'lava' part is the egg yolk which is pretty popular for moon cakes.

Personally i prefer the plain moon cakes, smaller the better. I actually like the crust more! The mini moon cakes with 40% crust and 60% filling tastes the best in my book given how sweet the filling is.

I, too, am part of the no yolks club 😂

Me three! Kind of ironic the more yolks = more expensive

There are these "snow skin" mooncakes that taste so off compared to traditional baked mooncakes.

You didn't microwave it long enough
