Alongside traditional mooncake varieties, in recent years, the molten salted egg filling has gained immense popularity. The salty, creamy richness of the molten egg filling combined with sweet pastry creates an explosion of flavors, leading to the increasing production of molten egg mooncakes by various brands.
Here are some renowned brands of delicious lava egg mooncakes for you to consider.
