The best mooncakes in Bangkok 2017

The funky and eclectic hotel once again thinks beyond the classic and comes up with four ground-breaking fillings that are guaranteed to make you drool—chocolate and banana, peanut butter, Japanese cheesecake, and raspberry. You can also choose between two types of crust—crunchy oven-baked or smooth snow-skin. The treats are packaged in a signature bright yellow box wrapped in a brightly colored furoshiki-inspired cloth. 

Price: B188 for one piece/B788 for four pieces

Though the green tea and chocolate mint variants seem to be the bestsellers at this global coffee franchise, we can’t stop raving about Starbucks’ take on the durian mooncake. Chewy and not too sweet, this version comes with an indulgent stuffing that is not too pungent thanks to the addition of coffee.
