The definitive Cantonese mooncake house — but this is the item where customs rules matter more than price.

Price: 398 HKD (HK Airport Shop / Wing Wah list price; early-bird coupons in summer cut ~25%)

Where to buy: Wing Wah branches, supermarkets (Wellcome/ParknShop) Aug-Sep, airport shops; buy paper coupons early for the Mid-Autumn rush

• CUSTOMS WARNING: mooncakes containing egg yolk are routinely SEIZED by US CBP (and banned outright in Australia); India's quarantine also restricts egg products — carry yolk-free lotus-paste versions or eat them before you fly
• Season runs roughly August to early October; outside it, buy Wing Wah's eggrolls or bride cakes instead
• Locals trade mooncake COUPONS like currency — if gifting within HK, coupons beat boxes
• Snowy/ice-rind mooncakes need refrigeration — hopeless for travel
