5. Mooncakes with a molten lava center
While traditional mooncakes offer a solid nugget of salted egg yolk in the centre, Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant takes it up the notch by giving them a modern culinary twist.
Alongside traditional baked signatures of white seed lotus and yam paste, the Cantonese restaurant rivals the salted egg yolk croissants and cheese tarts with its Mid-Autumn rendition of the Mini Salted Egg Custard mooncake ($72 for eight), which comes with a molten lava centre of fragrant salted egg yolk and creamy custard.
