The mooncake is imprinted with a clear ginkgo leaf pattern, the hotel's symbol. The custard filling is encased in a thin pastry crust, while the filling itself is thick, about the width of a pinky finger. The filling is smooth and dense, with a distinct and subtly sweet aroma. The softness of the pastry blends perfectly with the filling, creating a smooth and enjoyable eating experience.

2. Man Ho from JW Marriott Hotel

The mooncake gift set from this shop boasts an exquisitely designed packaging. The mooncakes are housed in a red lantern-shaped leather box with gold trimmings, reflecting the Chinese belief that red lanterns are auspicious symbols that usher in good fortune and prosperity. This belief is evident in the widespread use of red lanterns during Chinese New Year celebrations, weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and business openings. The set also includes a special pouch containing a flame-shaped charm, which symbolizes the belief that fire brings prosperity and success. Upon opening the lantern box, one is presented with four tiers of mooncakes, each tier containing one mooncake, for a total of four mooncakes.

This mooncake is made by Chef Teng Kam Seng. The mooncake is printed with the name of the shop, Man Ho. I tasted the single lotus seed with thin and soft dough that does not crack or crumble. The filling is smooth, dense, but still has a slight crunch. The large egg yolk enhances the smoothness of the filling.

The two-mooncake box features a design of the hotel building, once the tallest in Thailand, and commemorates the 48th anniversary. The mooncakes are a new special filling with date honey and bird's nest mixed with lotus seeds. Both mooncakes are classic large size with a hotel building pattern.

The four-piece box set from Bai Yun Chinese Restaurant, Rim Talay Restaurant, and Goodies Shop features an adorable design with a light pink semicircle and a handle. When opened, the other half of the circle appears, forming a full moon.

The large mooncake, thick and imprinted with the hotel's logo, was a delight. The green tea single yolk mooncake had a thin crust that exuded a subtle, delicate green tea aroma.

8. Silk Road & The Bakery at Plaza Athenee Bangkok Hotel

The Silk Road Chinese Restaurant and The Bakery's mooncakes are beautifully packaged in a red women's handbag. The mini mooncakes are arranged in three tiers, with three pieces on each tier for a total of nine pieces. The standard box with the Silk Road logo holds four pieces.

Mini mooncakes are molded with floral patterns, while regular-sized ones feature the logo of the Silk Road Chinese restaurant. I sampled the regular-sized mooncake with Singaporean pork floss and peanut filling. The thin pastry crust was notable for its densely packed filling, featuring finely chopped pork floss with a subtle pork flavor and a distinct saltiness. Sesame seeds and various nuts added a satisfying crunch, while the filling was infused with a unique sweet and savory aroma.

This year's mooncakes from 8 different shops showcase a variety of packaging designs, shapes, patterns, and fillings. One thing I noticed while sampling from all 8 shops was the thin pastry skin and the thick, dense filling. When eaten together, they blend seamlessly without being dry or crumbly, making for a pleasant and non-sticky eating experience. I hope this review helps you make an informed decision when choosing your mooncakes.

Thank you very much.
