The beloved Mid-Autumn Festival is finally upon us and in the spirit of things, we take a look at the most luxurious mooncakes – complete with jaw-dropping price tags – we’ve seen over the years.

The selling price landed the mooncake a spot in the Malaysian Book of Rercords for the “most expensive mooncake” in Malaysia.If you thought mooncakes with edible gold were indulgent enough, how about mooncakes with caviar? Hong Kong’s Royal Caviar Club created what it billed as the world’s first caviar and black truffle mooncake last year, priced at HK$1,800 for a box of four.

The snow skin mooncakes featured 10g of Royal Cristal Caviar, plus Australian winter black truffle and truffled potato.Surely there's a demand for caviar mooncakes, as this year, Royal Caviar Club came up with a new offering featuring Imperial Ossetra Caviar, paired with either cream cheese or fresh vanilla filling. There are six mooncakes in the set, priced at HK$680.
