When I was in China, I used to eat the double-egg yolk lotus seed paste mooncakes from Guangzhou Restaurant a lot. Back then, they were a bit too sweet so I couldn't eat that many, but the mooncakes I ordered this time have just the right amount of sweetness and the egg isn't fishy at all, so they're so delicious—I highly recommend them! They really bring back memories.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer everything you want to know about Lotus Egg Yolk Mooncakes.

What is a lotus and egg yolk mooncake?

It's the classic Cantonese mooncake filled with smooth lotus seed paste (莲蓉) wrapped around one or more salted duck egg yolks. The round yolk symbolizes the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

What's the difference between single and double yolk?

A single-yolk mooncake has one salted egg yolk; a double-yolk (双黄) has two, offering extra richness and a more premium, savory contrast to the sweet paste. Double-yolk is the traditional gifting choice.

What is white lotus paste (白莲蓉)?

White lotus paste is made from lotus seeds without the seed coat, giving it a smoother texture and lighter color than standard lotus paste. It's considered more premium.

Do you offer reduced-sugar lotus mooncakes?

Yes. Yami carries reduced-sugar lotus seed paste mooncakes for health-conscious buyers who want the classic flavor with less sweetness.

Do lotus and egg yolk mooncakes contain egg?

Yes, they contain salted duck egg yolk, so they are not suitable for vegans or those with egg allergies.
