HELENOU666 Mooncakes Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival Traditional Mini-Mooncake 8-Flavor Mixed Fruit Moon Cake 20pcs

This September I read about the Chinese festival of the moon and decided to order some mooncakes. I believe I placed the order at the end of September or the beginning of October but it finally arrived in late November. Is this the sellers fault? No, of course not. World shipping is very backed up, so if you order, be patient. The mooncakes are individually wrapped in a carboard box which arrived from halfway around the world in surprisingly excellent condition. I attribute the good shape it came to me in, because of the careful packaging job the seller did. The box was a little dented but not one single mooncake was damaged. They are fresh and delicious. I have never tasted anything like this before and I am definitely going to order these again next year. They are sweet but not sickly sweet, they are very nice. Some of the flavors were quite familiar and some I had never tried before but all lovely. Also there's plenty to share with friends but make sure you try one of each yourself. A1 Seller 5 stars.

Seeing as the price was relatively low compared to other moon cakes, I naively assumed the only sacrifice would be the size. However, the were absolutely terrible. So dry and barely any filling. I felt like I was biting into a stale cookie with and afterthought for a flavoring. It's my fault I didn't look at the reviews

These moon cakes are bite sized and decorated with beautiful characters on top. They are individually wrapped and in the box pictured. There are multiple flavors, maybe two of each. Some were incredibly fresh, (pineapple, cantaloupe and honey peach) with a soft bread like outside, and gummy jelly inside. Others came incredibly dry (strawberry & a few others) with an outside that crumbled and was very stale tasting and an inside that was tacky and gummy. I was so excited to discover the flavors and textures of the moon cake finally! I felt like the box had so many cakes in it and I was really excited. On account of flavor, I do have quite a terrible diet which includes not hydrating properly which can drastically change the way that you taste foods. So, for me, I found the moon cakes to be incredibly light in flavor on some days to the point that I couldn't taste them. Today, for example, I hydrated more and had a cantaloupe moon cake for a snack and I could taste cantaloupe and it was so light and refreshing! Take care of yourself folks. One of the strongest flavors in the box that I ordered was the BLACK SESAME SEED moon cake. I was horrified by the name and anticipated it to be one that was savory like meat. HOWEVER, I did enjoy it a lot and it was the strongest tasting ones. Black sesame one did have more going on than just jelly in the middle, I believe there were a few nuts. Unfortunately, the inconsistencies were a disappointment as I was unable to give a fair review on the tastes of the drier, staler, flavours. I'm excited about this introduction to moon cakes, but I won't be quickly ordering more because I risk buying the stale moon cakes that were not enjoyable to eat. None the less, I immensely appreciate these fine moon cakes-- they came a couple days before my birthday!! 🎉

Tastes great!

We enjoyed these but found them to be a tad dry. Even the jelly in the middle wasn’t as smooth as we’d expect. Almost wonder if our box had been sitting for too long. These are also smaller than expected. Each moon cake is one to two bites. Have to eat several of them to feel meaningful. Best enjoyed with tea as coffee was too overpowering. The flavors were lighter. Product was meh - wouldn’t recommend but wouldn’t say it was so bad that I’d steer people away from it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
