Every Mooncake festival, I will hear a statement which will be repeated to me without fail; my aunts love telling me that when I was still a small quiet little girl, I used to hold on to a whole mooncake and munch it down all by myself. I suppose my aunts find that moment very fascinating to remember. I don't quite remember but I do look forward to mooncakes every year, especially the one with the salted egg yolk! It's like the cherry on top of the cake for me.
However, over the years, I gradually feel that the taste and the ingredient is differing from what it used to be, leading to a little bit of disappointment. This year, I found something which revived my much love for mooncake and also open up to the variety different flavours of mooncake.
I have to say that BMS Organics have definitely up the game this year with the launching of their new Cantonese & Suzhou Style Mooncake Selection which consist of the following flavours;
- Japanese Tangerine (Vegan)
- Red Bean Walnut (Vegan)
- Mixed Nuts Delight (Vegan)
- Purple Chinese Yam (Vegan)
- Matcha Red Bean (Vegan)
- Pure Lotus With Yolk (Ovo-Vegetarian)
- Taro Pastry (Lacto Vegetarian)
- Red Bean with Tangerine Pastry (Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian)
// BMS Organics Cantonese Style Selection Mooncake Ingredients //
// BMS Organics Cantonese Style Selection Mooncake Baked by Professional Veteran Taiwan Baker //
This new compilation recipe was created with much love by a veteran professional baker from Taiwan, ensuring only the finest and freshest ingredients used to bake the mooncakes. They put so much focus on creating only the best, they decide to use only unbleached flour and all-natural ingredients which are specially sourced from Taiwan.
BMS Organics have taken a leap from the old school commercial mooncakes which are usually encumbered with the taste of oily and overly-sweet mooncakes. Now, we don't have to feed on so much guilt after munching down a whole less healthy mooncake, do we?
Nothing makes Mooncake Festival more enjoyable when everyone in the family no matter young or old get to enjoy this traditional delicacy without having to worry too much about one's health! Not to mention, it makes a great thoughtful gift too! <3

After tasting all 8 creations, I have to say I feel eager to purchase them right away! Mooncake festival might be sometime away, but I definitely don't mind getting them for my own indulgence! The sweetness has been adjusted to a more favourable level, making it tastier without losing its flavours. It is not a new trend that new flavours has been introduced for mooncakes but I am impressed this time around with the replacement of salted egg yolk with a whole Yilan Tangerine for the Japanese Tangerine Mooncake.
For small bites, I'd recommend to try the Red Bean with Tangerine Pastry (Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian) which also has the little tangerine in there. A new taste but I'm felling head over heels for it! <3
My other favourite is the Mixed Nuts Delight Mooncake (Vegan). All these while I never liked mooncake with mix nuts. I think it it probably the choice of nuts choosen for mixed nuts mooncakes but I find myself keep feeding on this Mixed Nuts Delight Mooncake (Vegan) one after another. Definitely recommending this for you to try out!
