Mooncake festival, also known as the mid-autumn festival, falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.
The tradition of eating mooncakes on this day was believed to be regarded as completeness and togetherness of a family because of its round shape.
Despite the traditional round mooncakes, we also discover a few must-know Malaysian mooncake brands and their signature flavours. Some are also halal-certified so that you can share them with your friends and families hassle-free!
