The description seems very high-end, except for the packaging of the contents, there is no seal. The $70 small mooncake is nothing special, just buy the ordinary one and don't be cheated.

Every year, the mooncakes I eat at home are only the egg yolk mooncakes from The Peninsula Hotel. The buttery crust is wrapped with rich egg yolk fillings. Heat it for ten seconds to activate your tongue and enjoy the delicious taste. This year, The Peninsula Hotel has also added a QR code scanning authentication activity, so you can eat with peace of mind?

These are mini moon cakes. I don’t think they are worth $108.99. The marketing is overrated.

First time trying Kyoho grapes and I'm obsessed. They're large and sweet. Came in fresh condition and the price is a great value for 3lbs.
Felisa Allison
It’s really tiny but taste great with a strong egg yolk custard flavor!
Pauline
Tasty but very small for the price.
juliet.thwaits
Not worth the price
L
It’s not tasty, thin and dry, the pineapple stuffing is so sweet, it’s too expensive!
magic22088
The custard tastes like salted egg yolk. It's light. Pineapple with salted egg yolk is a bit strange. Try something new.
我不识米！
Beautifully packaged, original price is on the expensive side. At this price, you can buy a box directly in Taiwan. After buying it, I found it was on sale?, so buy a few more and give them as gifts!
CHRISCC
Average taste, expensive, will not repurchase
ellasun965
I bought it the other day and it was delicious, so I bought it again when it went on sale. It's a little pricey, but the mooncakes from Sunny Hill's, famous for their pineapple cakes, were definitely worth it.
Kaho in nj
It’s my first time to eat the mooncakes from Hot Hills. They taste similar to pineapple cakes.
weee.11457033
It has a nice sweetness to it, but the tartness of the pineapple adds a nice accent to it.
sora
It is said that the mooncakes are better than Maxim's! They are really good! Sweet but not greasy! It tastes better after heating for 10-15 seconds ? The box is really beautiful!
Zoezang
Although I haven’t tried the taste yet, seeing that the packaging is a leather bag, I already feel it’s worth it.

This is really delicious. I would rather buy this than lady M.
Tinny Tiny
Very high-end packaging, the mooncakes are small and taste good, with a slightly runny center, suitable for families who can't eat too much sweets
yfu
The orange leather box ? shows its positioning ~ it’s very satisfying even without having to ding itBut a little sweet and a little greasy
It’s delicious. The box is also very beautiful and worth collecting.
zoeguo9908
Beautiful box set. I sent it to a friend and she loves it so much! She kept the box and uses it as a jewelry box. Mooncakes taste good too. Great value.
didieggs
I like that it is a mini moon cake. The custard is very fragrant and the packaging is beautiful. After eating the moon cake, the moon cake box can be recycled and used for other objects. ????
