Ah i shall, but im going for something that is value for money and not overpriced like mariott or ritz carlton. that being said, price is not an issue if the taste can justify it's price tag!

Never a Breadtalk group (more so if u read their latest hard truths*)supporter but they r trying to do u guys a favour as none would opt to fly to Hk for now: Hang Heung ‘s wife pastries is yummy but its mooncake is just ok

HAng heung is never a cheap brand hence u can imagine its pricing if breadtalk brings it over amidst their loss announcement*

 

Sexy”brief”case anyone?? I will prefer to re use such containers whenever possible

i noticed the ladies tend to snatch those with bags eg bakerzin previously

The "moon" in my bedroom (without switching on any lights), haha.

A nice decorative feature which could be used as night lighting.

For a moment I thought it was a blue mooncake, then a moonstone ... then I realise it is a luminous light refelector and nice one! A joker are you?

Haha, joker I am not, just showing what Concorde Mooncakes gave - a "moon" for us to keep (or a night light for the elders eh), and there is no special packaging for the mooncakes.

most importantly how was concorde's mooncake
it must have come vacuumed-pack too? usually all vac packed mcakes tend to be very "waxy"
.....

 

Yes, indeed vacuumed-packed, their mooncakes were ordinary, nothing to shout about.

To begin with, their brand was not "famous" for mooncake anyway eh, haha.

I usually don't eat baked mooncake, and I didn't take note of the expiry date - which I would assume it to last 1-2 months under unwrapped condition (best is to check the expiry date on the package). Whenever I happen to have baked mooncakes, I would pass it on to family/friends/colleagues.

The original price ranges from $70 to $78 (depends on the flavour and with/without yolks) for 4 baked mooncakes, and that free "moon".
I bought them at a discounted price.

yes, for me!

I hope it is not raffles hotel!

I haven’t buy any for years as I receive from friends. But 1 particular mooncake which shocked me as it was really good was from JB. I cannot remember which confectionery liao. If we go way back, i think the last time i bought was at taka’s mooncake fair. Wahahahahaaa…

 

Raffles hotel yes I did buy before coz it’s branded and “famous”. But nowadays i also stop buying for people liao.

i would go for branded if it is gift to associates. mooncakes which are used as show off. usually most mooncake nowadays tasted almost that same. sometimes one factory can make mooncakes for multiple brands. worst when some mooncake forsake the use of lard.

a few years back, i came across an old connfectionary which makes traditional mooncakes by hand in malaysia. as they insist that they do not use preservative, they only starts selling more varieties a week before mid autumn and often sold out.
