This year, mooncakes filled with green rice flakes have become highly sought after. One brand in Hanoi even created a scene where people lined up early in the morning, and they had to stop accepting online orders due to overwhelming demand. Amidst this, many food enthusiasts have been sharing alternative addresses where the green rice mooncakes are equally delicious, with no need to jostle through crowds.
Do The Gia Mooncakes
According to customer reviews, Do The Gia’s green rice mooncakes are highly praised for their chewy texture and traditional flavor. The green rice filling is well-cooked, thick, and has minimal coconut, reminiscent of Hanoi’s traditional stir-fried green rice. The moment you take a bite, the aroma of green rice fills the air. While the sweetness is slightly stronger, making it a bit heavy to eat in large quantities, the overall experience is still excellent.
The crust is soft yet dry, leaning towards a traditional style, and slightly thicker. Overall, the sweetness is more pronounced than other places, but it pairs well with tea. Many older people appreciate the nostalgic touch, especially since the mooncakes are elegantly packaged with the brand’s “since 1902” logo, making them perfect for gifting.
Currently, customers can purchase directly at Do The Gia’s store or order online via their fanpage.

Che Thap Cam 1976
Famous for their green rice sweet soup and stir-fried green rice, Che Thap Cam 1976 also offers baked and soft mooncakes filled with green rice during the Mid-Autumn season. The mooncakes may not look luxurious, leaning more towards a homemade style, but their rustic flavor is highly praised.
The soft green rice mooncakes are less sweet, with a well-balanced filling. The baked green rice mooncakes include coconut, adding a richer, creamier texture. Some find the flavor here perfect for those who prefer lightly sweetened treats without fussing over appearance. However, for those prioritizing aesthetics for gifting, these mooncakes might seem a bit modest compared to other brands.
Currently, the mooncakes are available for purchase directly at their store on Tran Hung Dao Street, Hanoi.

Dang Dinh Hai’s Green Rice Mooncakes
Not a large store, Dang Dinh Hai is primarily known through their personal Facebook page. The mooncakes sell out quickly, with limited quantities, so those interested need to place orders early. The advantage is that orders can be placed online without waiting in line.
In terms of flavor, many find the baked mooncakes more delicious than the soft ones. The green rice filling is chewy and well-cooked, with a generous amount of coconut. The salted egg yolks are skillfully prepared, rich and not fishy. The crust is quite thick and soft… However, for those who prefer more filling and thinner crusts, Dang Dinh Hai’s mooncakes might not be the top choice. Ordering can be a drawback: responses to messages are slow due to high demand, making it easy to miss peak times. Thus, it’s suitable for those willing to wait patiently or try it out.
