How locals do it

A 1854 shop best known for 鲜肉月饼 — flaky pastry around a juicy pork patty, eaten hot. The 熏鱼 (smoked fish) counter is the other reason locals queue.

Don't get this wrong

Fresh pork mooncakes are only good hot and fresh; buy what you will eat today. Avoid the Mid-Autumn crush unless you specifically want the festival boxes.
