Yauatcha's Mooncakes Popular in the UK: Molten Egg Custard and Snow Skin Coconut Are Super Delicious! Mid-Autumn Festival Food
This September 29th is the 2023 Mid-Autumn Festival! It falls on a Friday, so you can invite friends and family to gather together and celebrate this beautiful night of the full moon. Eating mooncakes, picking lanterns, and admiring the moon are all traditional yet fun ways to celebrate.
Yauatcha, a high-end Cantonese dim sum restaurant in London, also hopes to bring a sense of home to all Chinese people in the UK and celebrate this wonderful festival together. Handcrafted with care by the Michelin-starred chef team, Yauatcha's super delicious handmade mooncakes are finally available, with multiple ordering and enjoyment options so that everyone in cities across the UK can taste the wildly popular Yauatcha mooncakes.
The 2023 Yauatcha mooncakes come in two flavors: classic egg custard and snow skin coconut. The Cantonese egg custard continues the classic flavor as always. When heated in a microwave or oven, it gives off a rich milky aroma, and the center develops a slightly molten texture—each bite leaves a lingering fragrance.
The snow skin coconut is a 2023 limited-edition flavor, specially launched by Yauatcha. It has a cool, soft, and chewy texture, and also meets vegan requirements, with just the right amount of sweetness—not greasy at all. From Monday, September 4th to Thursday, October 5th, these two flavors of mooncakes will be available at Yauatcha's two London restaurants in Soho and City, and can also be delivered across the UK.
It is worth mentioning that Yauatcha's Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift boxes are exquisitely packaged this year, available in two options: classic gift box and luxury gift box. The classic gift box is blue, consisting of three stackable round boxes, each containing three mooncakes, secured with a lid and a silver ribbon.
The luxury gift box is also blue, containing three layers of mooncakes, plus a fourth layer that unfolds from the round box. This layer holds an LED candle with a gold case engraved with Yauatcha's pattern. Once removed from the box, the luxury gift box becomes an elegant candle holder that casts shimmering light—a perfect celebratory gift for the 2023 Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, the window of Yauatcha's London Soho restaurant and the entrance of Yauatcha's London City restaurant will be decorated with festive lanterns, guiding visitors to experience the festive atmosphere. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, September 29th, every child visiting Yauatcha will receive a Mid-Autumn Festival lantern of their own, lighting their path to prosperity and good fortune.
No matter which city in the UK you are in, you can browse and order Yauatcha mooncakes online on the official Yauatcha website and have them delivered directly to your doorstep. If you are in London, a visit to Yauatcha's two London restaurants is highly recommended to enjoy the wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival.
