Here’s some product highlights:
My Mum’s Cookies

My Mum’s Cookies’ mooncakes are lower in sugar, as they do not use cane sugar and are instead naturally sweetened with wheat and corn.
Some of the flavours include No Cane Sugar White Lotus with Salted Mung Bean and Single Yolk and Low Sugar Mixed Nuts.
La Levain
