The Mid-Autumn Festival in 2017 fell on Wednesday, October 4th, the day when the moon shines its fullest and most beautiful. Before the festival, various brands of mooncakes were sold in shopping malls and fresh markets, making it difficult to choose. "Eat Chubby Cheeks, Travel Around" would like to recommend the legendary mooncakes that have been passed down for generations. Today, the 3rd and 4th generation descendants still continue the delicious taste according to the original recipe, which is the mooncake "Gokjai Jao Laa".

Mallika Athinantapant (left), or "Ho," the third-generation owner of Kok Jai Ja Liew restaurant, shared that "Kok Jai Ja Liew is a Chinese restaurant in the Khlong San area that is well-known among Thai-Chinese food lovers. It is the originator of the delicious durian mooncake with Mon Thong filling, as it was the first to sell it. This was started by the first generation, who called it "Kok Ji Liew," which was originally distributed among partners and close friends. However, it turned out to be delicious because it uses only the finest durian paste and no artificial colors or flavors. It was certified as "Ho Sek...Ho Sek," which means "delicious" in Cantonese. They then tried serving it as a dessert to the "Ram Pat" group (card players) in the Yaowarat area. Everyone who tasted it loved it and ordered it in large quantities, making it a popular mooncake filling ever since."

The unique feature of "Gokjai Jao Laa" mooncakes is their traditional taste. The fillings are simmered in-house using the shop's special mooncake syrup, which takes over 5 hours to cook each time. This ensures a chewy, juicy, and smooth filling that melts in your mouth with a perfectly balanced sweetness. Some fillings, such as the "ngohiang" filling, are still "handmade" at every stage due to the large number of ingredients, including flavorful ham. However, for popular fillings, machines are used to increase production capacity. "Gokjai Jao Laa" mooncakes are known for their generous fillings, thin crusts, and a variety of sizes, ranging from single-bite to family-sized.
