Can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by! Here we are again with Mid-Autumn Festival right around the corner. I, for one, am always very excited for this time of the year because my birthday month coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival and also, mooncakes!

Can you imagine our shock when we found out recently that one of our writers does not eat mooncakes? I felt very sad that he is missing out on such a delicious delicacy. This incident got me thinking about other people who might not be able to enjoy mooncakes. Traditional mooncakes are usually not suitable for vegans because the pastry contains lard or egg yolk. This led me to search for vegan-friendly mooncakes in Malaysia and here are my findings:


1. Food & Boy

Look at how adorable these bunny jelly mooncakes are! Freshly made upon order by the people at home-based bakery Food & Boy, these jelly mooncakes are vegan friendly as they are made with soy milk. Appropriately named Cutie Box, share some cuteness with your friends and family this Mid-Autumn festival. The Cutie Box contains 6 jelly mooncakes – 2 x SoyMilk with Pandan Lotus, 2 x SoyMilk with Red Bean and 2 x SoyMilk with Black Sesame.
