Guangming Cun Da Jiu Dian 光明邨大酒店
Gourmets will have to wait in line to get a bite of the piping hot meat cakes freshly baked at the hotel. Unlike other xianrou yuebing makers that use ovens, Guangming Cun cook their moon cakes with a large frying pan.

Changchun Food Store 长春食品商店
Apart from traditional pork and sweet bean paste moon cakes, the store also sells cakes stuffed with shrimp, dried mushroom and dried scallops. But the pork one is always the best seller. One tip: carefully rip or take a small bite of the cake first, because they are stuffed with hot broth.
