Personally I love a good mooncake (I actualy learnt how to make them from scratch once) and I do believe that 2020 has been the year of the most amount of mooncake versions I have every seen!

I do not really like it when someone takes a mooncake and makes it savoury. It really should be sweet to me and from what I can see from the photos from Ralph’s Coffee their lava custard mooncakes do look very tasty indeed.
