Mooncake Review: Glow Prestige
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the air is filled with excitement, and nothing epitomizes this celebration quite like a mooncake.

I had the pleasure of sampling their offerings, and I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on their selection. From indulgent durian delights to the classic richness of lotus, Glow Prestige has something for every palate.

1. Signature Mao Shan Wang Snowskin Durian Mooncake

Let’s start with a bold choice — the Signature Mao Shan Wang Snowskin Durian Mooncake. Mao Shan Wang, renowned for its intense and aromatic flavor, is the star here. The snowskin is delicate and slightly chewy, providing a perfect contrast to the creamy, custard-like durian filling. The taste is a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with the durian’s signature pungency mellowed by the smooth, rich texture of the filling. This mooncake is a true durian lover’s dream, offering a luxurious taste experience that’s both exotic and comforting.
2. White Lotus With Yolk

Next up is the classic White Lotus with Yolk. This traditional mooncake is a favorite among many, and Glow Prestige’s version does not disappoint. The white lotus paste is smooth and slightly sweet, with a velvety texture that melts in your mouth. The salted egg yolk adds a savory contrast that enhances the overall flavor profile. The balance between sweet and salty is beautifully executed, making this mooncake a timeless choice that’s both satisfying and elegant.

3. FeiCui Pandan With Yolk

For those seeking a twist on tradition, the FeiCui Pandan With Yolk mooncake is a must-try. The pandan flavor is distinct and aromatic, providing a fragrant and slightly floral note that pairs wonderfully with the rich lotus paste. The salted egg yolk introduces a savory element that complements the pandan’s sweetness. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors that is both unique and delightful. This mooncake is a great option for those looking to explore new taste sensations while enjoying the classic mooncake experience.
4. Azuki Red Bean With Yolk

The Azuki Red Bean With Yolk mooncake offers a charming take on the traditional filling. The red bean paste is smooth and subtly sweet, with a gentle earthy undertone that adds depth to the flavor. The salted egg yolk provides a savory kick that enhances the sweetness of the red bean paste. This mooncake strikes a lovely balance between sweet and salty, making it a comforting choice that’s perfect for those who appreciate a more nuanced flavor profile.
5. Baked Durian With Yolk

For another durian-themed treat, the Baked Durian With Yolk mooncake offers a different experience compared to its snowskin counterpart. The durian flavor is rich and robust, with a hint of caramelization from the baking process that adds complexity to the taste. The salted egg yolk enhances the overall flavor, creating a decadent treat that’s both indulgent and refined.

6. Mixed Nuts Wu Ren

Lastly, the Mixed Nuts Wu Ren mooncake is a delightful choice for those who enjoy a crunchy texture. This mooncake is packed with a generous mix of nuts, including walnuts, almonds, and cashews, all combined with a sweet and savory filling. The nuts add a satisfying crunch and a rich, roasted flavor that complements the smooth paste. It’s a hearty and satisfying option that offers a delightful contrast to the more traditional sweet and creamy mooncakes.
