The Best Mooncakes in Hong Kong 2025


If you’re in Hong Kong for Mid-Autumn Festival 2025, you’re in for a treat. This year, mooncake makers have pulled out all the stops, from timeless classics to bold reinventions. Here’s a guide to the best mooncakes in Hong Kong this season: what to taste, where to buy, and the trends to watch.

What Makes a Mooncake Great

The best mooncakes stand out for a few reasons:

  • Filling quality – Smooth lotus seed paste, rich custards, fragrant red bean, or perfectly centred salted egg yolks.

  • Skin and texture – Whether baked crust or delicate snow skin, it should be fresh, thin yet strong, and never overwhelm the filling.

  • Balance of sweetness – Many modern makers cut down the sugar, balancing richness with tea, fruit, or nuts.

  • Innovation – Surprising flavours, creative formats, and playful textures keep things exciting.

  • Presentation – Packaging matters, especially for gifting. Luxurious boxes and tea pairings are part of the appeal.

  • Freshness – Seasonal, small-batch mooncakes are often the most memorable.

 

Innovative and Quirky Creations

For those who like their mooncakes with a twist, 2025 is full of surprises:

  • Soulgood Bakery: A Basque burnt cheesecake meets snow-skin collection, with playful flavours like strawberry yoghurt and pistachio.

  • Hoi King Heen: Whisky-infused chocolate mooncakes for a boozy edge.

  • Hong Kong MX Mooncakes: A zingy “Super Lemon” mooncake with lava filling.

  • Imperial Patisserie: Lava mooncakes in sesame, custard, and red bean with mandarin peel.

  • Steak King: A savoury Wagyu Beef Wellington mooncake, wrapped in puff pastry.
