Description

Cantonese-style mooncakes (广式月饼) are the most popular and recognizable type: a thin, tender golden-brown skin wrapped around dense, rich fillings — most famously lotus seed paste with salted egg yolk, but also red bean, mixed nuts (five-kernel), and modern flavors. They originated in Guangdong and are the standard for Mid-Autumn gifting across the Chinese diaspora.

Yami stocks Cantonese mooncakes from heritage Hong Kong brands like Mei Xin (Maxim's) and Wing Wah, plus assorted gift boxes.
